Machine & hoop setup

This section covers the settings used to configure your embroidery machine and prepare designs for accurate stitchout. These options ensure that your designs are matched to the correct machine type, hoop sizes, and stitching requirements.

You can select your machine brand and model, define custom brands and hoop lists, and configure available hoops to reflect your actual equipment.

Multi-hooping settings allow you to manage large designs across multiple hoopings, including registration marks and color optimization. You can also control how designs begin and end stitching by setting start and end points to suit your machine and workflow.

Note: Some customers want to connect Hatch Embroidery directly to machine. If your embroidery machine can be seen as an external drive in MS Windows® File Explorer, you may be able to send designs directly. For instance, some single needle Brother machines have a mode which enables them to be set up like this. See Output designs for production for details. See also FAQs on the Hatch Embroidery website.
