Tutorial 8: Creating Design for Multi-Position Hoops
Notes on embroidering using the
multi-position hoop
• Before embroidering your design, sew a trial
sample of the design on a scrap piece of fabric
from your design, making sure to use the same
needle and thread.
• Be sure to affix stabilizer material to the back of
the fabric and tightly stretch the fabric within the
hoop. When embroidering on thin or stretch
fabrics, use two layers of stabilizer material. If no
stabilizer material is used, the fabric may become
over-stretched or wrinkled or the embroidery may
not be sewn correctly.
• Use the zigzag stitch for sewing the outlines in
order to prevent embroidering outside the
outlines.
• For patterns that require the hoop to be installed
at different installation positions, design the
embroidery pattern so that the various parts of
the pattern overlap in order to prevent
misalignment while embroidering.

■ Printing a Design Page for a
multi-position hoop
On the first page, a complete image of the Design
Page is printed at actual size. (However, for a 130 ×
300 mm Design Page, a reduced image of the
Design Page is printed.) On the following pages, an
image of each design section and its sewing
information are printed in the sewing order.
When [Actual Size] is selected:
An image of the pattern in each design section is
printed on a separate page as the corresponding
sewing information.
When [Reduced Size] is selected:
An image of the pattern in each design section is
printed on the same page as the corresponding
sewing information.

• Stabilizer must always be used when
embroidering to stabilize the fabric. There are
many types of stabilizer; the type that you will
use depends on the type of fabric that you are
embroidering on.
• For large-size designs that are split into
sections, the stabilizer must be adhered to the
fabric, for example, iron-on stabilizer. In some
cases, you may need to use two pieces of
stabilizer for your embroidery.
• When using spray adhesive, spray the adhesive
onto a hooped piece of stabilizer that is strong
enough for the entire large-size embroidery. In
some cases, you may need to use two pieces of
stabilizer for your embroidery.

• For best results, attach the stabilizer to the fabric
(as described on this page). Without the correct
stabilizer, the design may become misaligned
due to puckering in the fabric.
• Be sure to check the recommendations on the
stabilizer package.
