Multi-hoop designs are comprised of

multiple pieces, which are usually saved in

different files. By moving and possibly

rotating the fabric at the sewing machine

between sewing the different pieces, it is

possible to create a design larger than the

default hoop size.

Normally you use a special hoop that is

designed to sew multi-hoop designs. When

you are using one of these specialty hoops,

the fabric is set into the multi-hoop one time.

This multi-hoop design has

two overlapping sections.

The large hoop is mounted on the embroidery arm in any number of

positions in order to sew on different areas of the fabric. Usually the

design fields have significant overlap, but together they cover a

much larger area of the fabric than you could reach with a

conventional single position hoop.

The Janome 5 hoop is a

multiple-position hoop frame

Multiple-position hoops are made by

many sewing machine manufacturers

and by other companies such as the

Hoop-it-All

™

corporation, which makes

the Giant Hoop-it-All

™

line. For more

information on the common types of

multiple-position hoops and their usage,

please refer to Appendix C on page 167.

In the absence of a special hoop, you can still use BuzzEdit

™

create a multi-hoop design, but you will have to re-hoop the fabric

for each hoop section.

When you create a multi-hoop design that uses a BuzzEdit

™

manager file, each hoop section is saved as an individual file.

BuzzEdit

™

uses the same naming convention as it does with other

multiple-file designs.
