Selecting the Hoop

The hoop preview on the screen helps you make sure that your design
fits properly when you run it on the machine. The image of the hoop
that is displayed in the workspace window serves as a guide for sizing
and positioning your design.
To choose the hoop:
1 Ensure that the hoop will be visible by clicking the Show Hoop
button on the toolbar.
2 Open the Preferences dialog.
3 In the Preferences dialog, select the machine format (e.g. PES,
DST, VIP, etc.) that you will be using.
Note that the choice of hoop sizes will depend on the format chosen.
If you choose PES format, you will see that there is an option to select
"MultiNeedle" hoops. This applies only if you have a MultiNeedle
embroidery machine.
If you check this box, the list of hoop formats will change to a list of
hoops that are used with a MultiNeedle machine.
4 Click the arrows button
You see a drop-down list of hoops; drag the scroll bar up and down
to view the entire list.
