Abstract
A system, apparatus and method of screen printing and embroidering a workpiece in a single workpiece holder is disclosed. The workpiece is secured in a hoop that is interchangeably mountable to a screen printing machine and an automated embroidery machine. The hoop is mounted in a first hoop sash or holder on the screen printing machine, screen printed, and removed from the first hoop holder. The hoop is then mounted in a second hoop sash or holder on the automated embroidery machine such that the hoop centers and rotationally aligns the workpiece during embroidery without having to remove the workpiece from the hoop between operations.
