    Formula How to work out your size of fabric and elastic for the grime guard is as follows:
    Working in INCHES
    Q-Snap: Width + Height = ___ multiply x 2 = ______ then + 2 inches = ____ your strip should measure this.
    Embroidery Hoop: Size of Hoop - 2 inches = ____ once you have this number, use the above formula. Example - 10" - 2" = 8in then take that number
    8" x 4 = 32" + 2" = 34 inches
    That will be the total length of the strip of fabric the with of the fabric is always 6.5"...
    To work out what size your elastic should be is as follows:
    The total length of Fabric divided by 2 example - 34 ÷ 2 = 17 you will need two of these lengths.
    If you are still not sure, please message me on Instagram or via our contact form on the website www.darvanaleedesignsstudio.com ...these notification come straight to my mobile. With your size that you need so I can quickly work it out for you. Please REMEMBER I am in the Southern Hemisphere and my take me several hours to get back to you.

    @debbiecarter1198 Рік тому

    I have a question on your formula for a hoop, you said to follow the above formula after you subtract the 2". The above formula says to multiply by 2 but you multiply by 4, which is correct? Thank you love your video

    I have done a Grime Guard for my Hoop. But when I put in on, I don't see a lot my work because Grime Guard take a lot of place in aere. If I make it less large it doesn't take all my fabric. Is it normal ?

    Formula doesn’t actually work properly without fudging. For an 8 inch hoop the formula should be 8” x pi (π) = X then X + 2
    8” x 3.14 = 25” + 2 “ = 27”. Also using 6.5” for the width is not “always”. Hoops are not as bulky and wide as QSnaps so reducing the width makes it more logical even if you have lots of fabric to tuck in. Ps, to make it more professional and neater looking use a width of 1.5” for joining seam then use zig zag for each end as this will be visible upon finish. Roll and press approx 1/8 inch then fold slightly larger than elastic. Reduces how bulky the seams become.
