page 49.

Memo:
Designs created on a custom-sized Design Page
are written to cards split into their various
sections.
If the total size of the design exceeds the capacity
of the original card or if your Design Page is set to
a custom size of 90
×
90 cm (35.4”
×
35.4”), and
is split into over 80 sections, you will need to split
the design into sections and write them onto
several original cards.
In this case, the Select Hoop Sections dialog
box appears to let you select the sections that can
be written in the available space on the card.
The progress bar at the top of the dialog box
shows the available space on the card as you
select design sections to be written to the card.
The space used by the selected design sections
appears in blue. If you select several pattern
sections which exceed the size limit, the space
used appears in red.
Click each design section to select it, and then
click Write to write the selected design
sections to the card. To deselect a design
section, simply click it again. (The Write
button is available only when a section is
selected and the space on the card is
sufficient to receive the selected design.)
