Split objects between hoopings

Use Multi-Hooping > Add Splitting Line to split objects between hoopings in multi-hoop layouts. Digitize guides over uncovered parts of a design.

The Add Splitting Line tool allows you to split objects that would not otherwise fit within a hooping. In effect, it allows you to digitize one or more split lines in a multi-hooped design prior to outputting to file, machine or memory card. Although split lines are only visible in Multi-Hooping, they are maintained when switching to other modes. Split lines do not affect object integrity and you can still reshape and transform split objects as before.

To split objects between hoopings...

1Manually create your multiple hoopings. While a design may be entirely covered by separate hoop positions, some objects may remain uncovered. Uncovered stitching appears in black.
