Multiple Hoopings - How to determine placement
After you've worked hard splitting your design and it's
PERFECT! Now comes the stitch out, but how do you mark your fabric?
Where is the center of the design for each hooping? You can print
out templates and measure from there... OR... you can accurately
determine your placements using Embroidery Shop before you've
completed your split. This lesson will teach you how.
