Selecting hoops
Whenever you create a new design, a single hoop
representing the embroidery hoop you connect to
your embroidery machine appears by default in the
middle of the Design Window. The selected hoop is
saved with the design in the native JAN file format.
It is also saved to the JEF file which the machine
reads. A range of hoop sizes is available for a wide
variety of design types. You can also change hoop
orientation on screen for ease of digitizing. See
also Rotating hoops.

Hoop ST (126x110)
Make sure you have the correct hoop selected and
that your design fits within the design area on your
embroidery machine. When the machine reads the
JEF file, the stitching area is limited by the selected
hoop type. See also Hooping large
Warning Hoops used with AccuFil® have two
hooping areas. AccuFil® is software and machine
firmware which works in tandem to stitch quilting
designs using AQ and ASQ hoops. The red area is
the maximum embroidery area available for
normal embroidery. When used with AccuFil®, only
the area within the blue dashed line should be
used. For further information, talk to your Janome
distributor.
Changing hoops
It is a good idea to have the correct hoop selected
before you stitch out a design. But sometimes you
may wish to change hoops before stitching out.
The Hoop Type dropdown list control lets you
quickly confirm what hoop is currently being used
and change it at any time. Select the smallest hoop
which fits the design from the available range. See
Supported hoop types
Note The Hoop Type list is automatically filtered
according to the selected machine set. Only those
hoops supported by the selected machine are
available. See Selecting machine models
