9 Using your printed work list, load the

embroidery designs you are using onto

your machine. Please refer to your

embroidery software owner's manual for

specific information on how to do this.

Use the summary printout

as your work list.

10 Mount your embroidery hoop on the first position as shown on

the template and your printed work list. If your hoop has a sliding

mount, you can slide the hoop to fine-tune the vertical position.

You want your needle down position (the starting center needle

position of your design) to match the center hoop mark on your

fabric. If you need to adjust the needle position horizontally, use

the embroidery machine controls to fine-tune this position.

In addition, when you attach the hoop to your machine, notice if

your hoop has any horizontal play. If it does, be sure to attach

the hoop to your machine the same way each time to reduce

design placement inaccuracies. When we mount our Giant

Hoop-it-All

™

to our embroidery machine, we always push the

hoop frame toward the embroidery arm at the same time that we

tighten the mounting screws. If needed for correct design

placement, the hoop frame can be pulled away from the

embroidery arm. The amount of play in the mounting bracket

can give you up to one millimeter of adjustment. Just beware

that you do not pull the front and push the back part of the hoop,

or you could tilt your design slightly out of alignment.
