Creating Design For Multi-Position Hoops - Brother PE-Design 8.0 Instruction Manual

Creating Design for Multi-Position Hoops

This program enables you to create multi-position design that you can stitch in any multi-position hoop
attached to your embroidery machine.
Although the size of the design that can be embroidered using an multi-position hoop is 130 × 180 mm (or 100
× 100 mm, depending on the sewing area of the embroidery machine), first determine which of the three
installation positions (indicated as a, b, and c in the illustration above) the multi-position hoop will be installed
at and determine the orientation of the design.
When creating the design, each design section can only be as large as the sewing area of the embroidery
machine.
