Memo:
If the file size or the number of color changes
is larger than the specified number, or if one of
the patterns does not completely fit within an
embroidery area, the message "Please
change the object size or position. Do you
want to save the data anyway?" appears.

Writing the design to an original
card
A design for a multi-position hoop is created
by considering the pattern in each hoop
installation position as one pattern, then
combining them.
Therefore, when this type of design is written
to an original card, one multi-position hoop
design is saved as a combination of multiple
patterns.
: This pattern is sewn when the hoop is
installed at the top installation position
(position a).
: This pattern is sewn when the hoop is
installed at the middle installation position
(position b).
: This pattern is sewn when the hoop is
installed at the bottom installation position
(position c).
Therefore, the frame installation position
sewing order for the pattern shown above is b,
a, then c.
