FAQ – Frequently Asked Questions

For which materials is the Saddle Pad frame most suitable

The frame was specifically designed with multi-layered, padded and quilted textiles like saddle pads , numnahs and those heavy sweat rugs in mind.

Can I throw some high embroidery speeds at this frame ?

You bet you can - the design is built to stay rock steady and vibration free even at top machine speed.

Is the frame the way to go for series production?

Yes , its the go to choice for efficient series production on ZSK single-head and multi-head embroidery machines , thanks to precise placement and stable fixation.

Why was the Saddle Pad frame given that triangular shape

The designers thought a bit outside the box and went with a triangular shape that matches up with the corner areas of saddle pads where embroidery is most needed. This means you can get multi-layered pads in there for embroidery without leaving any unsightly pressure marks or causing damage like other hoop systems often do.

And at the same time, this shape gives the frame a load of stability and makes sure the clamping force is evenly spread right across it - which in turn helps to keep things nice and steady even with those heavy, padded materials and high embroidery speeds.
