In order to correctly align consecutive hoopings during stitchout, you can include registration marks for each hooping. Two sets of marks are generated in overlapping areas of each consecutive hooping. One set appears as the final stitches of the preceding hooping. The next set is included as the first of the subsequent hooping. These stitches do not form part of the design and are not saved with the design file. However, they are added during output and are viewable in the hooping preview and worksheet.

Tip  Correct alignment of multi-hooped designs requires some practice. Third-party training programs are available on the internet which demonstrate correct technique. Most recommend using a sticky-back tear-away stabilizer, heavy enough so that the registration marks do not tear the stabilizer. Use pins through the registration marks of one hooping to align the corresponding marks of the next hooping.

The larger the margin, the greater the distance between the registration mark and the maximum embroidery area of the hoop. This makes it easier to align but there may be some trade-off in precision.
