Hatch Embroidery supports multi-position hoops which expand the available stitching area of the machine for which they are supplied. The two stitching areas are shown in red and blue. When digitizing, each embroidery object must fit entirely into one or other hoop position unless your product level includes Multi-Hooping functionality.
The behavior of the multi-position hoops during loading and editing of embroidery designs is exactly the same as for normal rectangular hoops. The fact that there are two (or more) stitching areas has no effect until you save the design or output to machine. In most cases, a single EMB file is created to accommodate all hoop positions. However, if a return to hoop position 1 is required, Hatch Embroidery will create two (or more) files.
1Open the design to output to machine. The stitching areas are shown in red and blue.
If your product level includes Multi-Hooping functionality, objects can straddle different hoop positions. Otherwise, each object must fit entirely within a single hoop position. See also Split objects between hoopings.
Sizes are shown in mm for a 1:1 display. At other display scales, values are scaled proportionally.
2To export to a format recognized by your selected machine, click the Export Design icon. If you have not already split objects between hoop positions, Hatch Embroidery determines whether there are any that do not lie wholly within one of the hoop’s two (or more) positions:
If so, they are selected in the design window and you are prompted to edit, split, or delete them. Otherwise Hatch Embroidery determines how many hoopings are needed.
If only one is needed, or two with the upper position first, Hatch Embroidery creates a single EMB file containing these hoopings.
Otherwise it calculates the number of position changes required and prompts you to proceed. It will then create multiple EMB files.
3Click OK.
The EMB file names are numbered with a hyphen – ‘My Flower- 1’ and ‘My Flower- 2’. When the machine loads the first of the multiple EMB files, it stitches the upper-position first, then prompts you to move the hoop to the lower position. Always have the hoop in the upper position when the machine starts stitching a new EMB file unless you are prompted to change positions. This may be necessary in cases where a hooping pair must be split because it has too many stitches or too many color changes.
