Tutorial 10-1: Creating Split Embroidery Designs
7
Repeat steps 5 through 6 to reposition the
Positioning Sheet and draw the embroidering
position for each section of the embroidery
pattern.
a
Note:
• The intersection of the horizontal and
vertical line indicates the center of the
embroidery hoop.
• While carefully considering how the fabric
will be hooped, place the Positioning Sheet
on the fabric, and then draw lines to indicate
the embroidering position. In addition,
because all embroidery areas are not drawn
on the Positioning Sheet for large
embroidery hoops, be careful that the
embroidery area does not extend from the
marked area on the fabric as shown below.
Step 6 Hooping the fabric
1
Insert the embroidery sheet into the inner ring
of the embroidery hoop, and then place them
on top of the fabric with the centerline on the
embroidery sheet aligned with the reference
lines (drawn on the fabric) for the first pattern
section to be sewn.

2
Keeping the reference lines on the embroidery
sheet aligned with the reference lines for the
first pattern section, place the fabric and inner
ring of the embroidery hoop into the outer ring
of the hoop, and then pull the fabric so that it
is tight.
3
Finish hooping the fabric, and then remove the
embroidery sheet.
a
Note:
• Place the fabric and hoop on a level
surface, and then make sure that the inner
ring is pressed in well enough that the top
edge of the inner ring aligns with the top
edge of the outer ring.
• If the embroidery sheet is not used, the
marks on the embroidery hoop can be
used to hoop the fabric vertically and
horizontally.
However, since the center point on some
embroidery machines is off center, the
embroidery sheet should be used for best
results.
• Another way to hoop the fabric is to use
sticky stabilizer that can be hooped
separately, tear away the protective
paper, then carefully align the fabric onto
the sticky surface using the embroidery
sheet as a guide.
• Tip: The sticky stabilizer should be
removed right away after the embroidery
design is finished.
• Tip: The fabric can be hooped more easily
if double-sided tape is affixed to the back
of the inner ring, which is placed on top of
the fabric, and then the fabric is clamped
between the inner ring and the outer ring.
