As an advanced user, you may want to produce designs larger than any available hoop. This could be a single large design or a continuous embroidery design with repeating patterns. (Continuous embroidery is similar to the ‘endless embroidery’ function available on some machines.) To facilitate the accurate positioning of designs in more complex cases, Hatch Embroidery uses a combination of:
Design layout templates
Design worksheets with printed hoop position markers
Positioning markers – either stickers or basting stitches
Hoop templates.
Where final output requires multiple hoopings, positioning and alignment, or design repeats, can be tricky. It takes practice to obtain accurate alignment where the design requires re-hooping.
