Abstract
Embroidery hoops are mounted onto embroidery material using an embroidery hoop mounting device which can mount variably sized and shaped embroidery hoops for use with automated embroidery machines. The embroidery hoop mounting device utilizes a backing having a cam lock system on one side to adaptively hold the variously sized and shaped hoops during the mounting process. Handles are carried on the opposite side of the device for manipulating the device to engage the hoops with one another and with margins of the embroidery material between the hoops.
