From the range of hoop sizes available, select the smallest hoop which will accommodate your design. This will hold the fabric tight while stitching. When you choose a new hoop, it becomes the ‘current’ hoop until changed in the present or a future session.

To change hoops...

Alternatively, use the View toolbar toggles to turn on/off hoop and/or hoop template. The template may be used to help position your design within the hoop.

You can include the hoop template in the design worksheet, together with alignment and registration guide markings. This allows you to cut out the printed design and align it within the hoop. Use the template markings to align it to physical hoop template.
