The hoop section frames will be highlighted in the Stitches-in-Space

window as you drag. Once the stitches are located in the

appropriate hoop section, drop them into place. You may need to

perform this operation several times for each hoop section because

the Lasso may not select all layers of the design at the same time.

Note: The Lasso tool selects the largest contiguous run of

stitches that lie within the lasso border. This selection is not

necessarily the stitches that need to be sewn first. Try to

identify which stitches are sewn earliest prior to moving them

into the hoop sections. Choose Edit > Lasso > Select Next

Lassoed command to cycle through the possibilities.

Alternatively, you can drop them into the correct sewing order

as you move them into hoop sections but this method is more

prone to errors.

Check the Design

Run the Sew Simulator (Tools > Sew Simulator…) before you stitch

your design. Using this tool, you can often identify problems with a

multiple-hoop design before you invest the time to sew it.

Managing Hoop Sections

Each hoop section is composed of a Section Break flag followed

by its stitches. When you define a multi-hoop design, BuzzEdit

™

always inserts one Section Break flag for each hoop position.

By manipulating the Section Break flags, you can create a

design with any number of hoop sections and have them sew in

any order you wish.

For example, let's say you are using the PES vertical multi-hoop. By

default, BuzzEdit

™

creates top, middle and bottom hoop sections, in

that order. You may want a design that sews a middle hoop section,

a bottom hoop section and second middle hoop section. You can do

this by using the following methods:

Delete Section Breaks

You can remove unwanted section breaks from your design.
