Instead of using a plastic diffuser, you can simply stretch the fabric directly onto the embroidery hoop as if you were going to embroider! Coat the portion of the inner hoop where the fabric will sandwich between the 2 hoops with a thin layer of Mod Podge or fabric glue, stretch your fabric and let the glue dry. Now you can remove the hoop clamp and cover your edge with ribbon. This technique allows better airflow to the light fixture.
