Multi-hooping concepts

The goal of multi-hooping is to:

Note  ‘Hooping’ is not the same thing as ‘hoop position’ – you can have more hoopings than hoop positions but you can never have less. In other words, a single hoop position may involve more than one hooping in order to preserve the design sequence.

Multi-hooping rules

When BERNINA V9 calculates multiple hoopings, it attempts to include whole objects within sequential hoopings. Where one object overlaps another, the overlapped object must be stitched before the overlapping object. Thus:

Note  For any design that requires multi-hooping, use the largest hoop available for the specific machine model.

Multi-hooping characteristics

Multi-hooping in BERNINA V9 includes the following characteristics:

Calculation time

The time to calculate design hoopings depends more on the number of objects and hoop positions than stitch count. Designs converted from EXP, PES, HUS, etc, will in general result in a larger number of objects than a native BERNINA V9 design. Hence, these designs will take longer to calculate. However, even with pure ART files, if the design is complex, large, and contains many hoop positions, calculation can take time.
