3Optionally, click the Machine & Hoop Options button to change hoop selection or modify the list at any time.
4Optionally, turn on the hoop template display via the Show Hoop Template toggle. The template may be used to help position your design within the hoop.
You can include the hoop template in the design worksheet, together with alignment and registration guide markings. This allows you to cut out the printed design and align it within the hoop. Use the template markings to align it to physical hoop template.
The selected hoop is saved with the design in native EMB file format. When the machine reads the machine file, the stitching area is limited by the selected hoop type.
If you have a hoop which is not listed, you can define your own.
