Creating Multiple-Hoop Designs

Creating and sewing multiple-hoop designs is not easy and should

probably not be attempted by a novice. However, at some point,

every embroiderer will want to be able to create a larger design than

his or her default hoop allows. At this point the effort involved in

creating and sewing a multiple-hoop design will be worth the effort.

Fortunately, BuzzEdit

™

makes creating multi-hoop designs easier

and even tries to protect the embroiderer from problems such as

multi-hoops with reduced-size hoop sections.

When you create a multiple-hoop design, you need to make sure

that the stitches of the design are correctly placed. You will use the

Stitches-in-Space window to lay out your design, and you will use

the Stitches-in-Time

™

window to place the stitches in the correct

hoop sections.

There are two basic strategies for creating a multiple-hoop design in

BuzzEdit

™

. One strategy is to create a multiple-hoop design by

merging smaller designs and/or elements from other designs

together. The other strategy is to create a multiple-hoop design by

subdividing a larger design into hoop-sized sections. Although we

will discuss each of these strategies in turn, a specific multiple-hoop

design may need to use both of these techniques.

This multi-hoop design was made by inserting

designs and pasting in other design's elements.
