Yes, you just have to keep a close eye on your stitch tension: not too loose and not too tight. If your stitches are too loose they will sag. If your stitches are too tight they will pucker your fabric.

How do you repair a broken embroidery hoop?
I would not suggest making a repair to a broken embroidery hoop. Since the purpose of the hoop is to hold fabric in a tight, stretched position, there is too much tension on the parts to expect a repair to work. You would have to be more specific about what material the hoop is made from to be more clear. Is it wood, plastic, metal? They aren't very expensive, buy a new one.

How do you embroider a large project on a home embroidery machine?
A good way to control the unused portion of the fabric on a large piece is to use the same method quilters use. You need to take the portion you are not currently working on, and roll up the fabric to the working table level. You can tie yard around the roll to hold it together, or use a quilters roll holder which is a round piece of metal with one side open to clasp over the roll. Be sure to use an embroidery hoop large enough to help your work the project. Many embroidery machine supply shops offer classes to help you learn how to use your machine. It would be a good investment on your future to enroll in one of their classes.

What are the tools and materials needed in embroidery?
You'll need cloth, embroidery thread (e.g. stranded cotton), and needles with large eyes, as well as the usual things like scissors and perhaps a thimble. You will probably want some way of marking a design on to your cloth to aid in placing your stitches, and iron on transfers are the easiest way to do this for a beginner. For ease of working an embroidery hoop and binding are great. I also recommend a strong light.
How to Use an Embroidery Machine on Knit Fabrics?
The first time that you open your embroidery machine, it’s quite common to feel intimidated. Luckily, after reading the manual and becoming more familiar with the features of the machine, most beginners overcome this initial fear. However, different fabrics react differently and require different techniques and products. Even experienced embroidery machine users may find themselves afraid to embroider on knit fabrics. By following a few simple guidelines, however, you can experience a successful stitch-out on this sometimes challenging fabric. Select Stabilizer Begin by selecting the correct stabilizer for use with knit fabrics. A cut-away stabilizer should be placed on the bottom of the material, in the embroidery hoop, per the instructions that came with your embroidery machine. Using a tear-away stabilizer can distort the design as you attempt to remove the stabilizer after completion. Attach Knit Fabric Once the cut-away stabilizer is hooped correctly, you will need to attach the knit fabric. In order to avoid stretching the fabric, most experts recommend that you use a spray adhesive to secure the fabric to the stabilizer backing in the embroidery machine. Spray the fabric to avoid residue on your hoop, or protect the hoop as you spray the stabilizer. Double check the placement of your design and smooth all the wrinkles so that the fabric is as taut as possible on the hoop. Use a Soluble Topping Knits can stretch, shift and pull when the embroidery machine is running. Because of this, a clear soluble topping is recommended. This will hold down the fibers as your machine begins stitching and make the design sew more smoothly. This material will sit on top of the fabric, but does not need to be extremely secure. Securing it towards the outside edges of your hoop, with a few pins, will be sufficient. Change Needles Unlike many other fabrics, knits do not respond well to universal needles or those specifically designed for embroidery machines. It’s best to favor a ballpoint needle, intended for the specific challenges of sewing knit fabrics. This will fit in your embroidery machine just fine and give superior results for the stitch-out. Monitor the Process Watch the embroidery machine as it stitches out the selected design. The quicker you catch thread breaks or bobbin issues, the easier it will be to correct for these problems. It’s also just plain fun to see the design unfold. Trim Threads and Clean Up Trim all threads between color changes. When the design in complete, gently cut away the stabilizer from behind the design. The soluble topping can be carefully pulled away from the perforated areas, or it will wash away when you launder your project for the first time.
