Step 2 Creating the design
The Design Page appears on the screen as
shown below.
Create the design, making sure that it meets
the following conditions.
If this design is written to an original card and
the written pattern is checked on the
embroidery machine, it appears as shown
below.
• The size of one pattern must be no larger
than 100
× 100 mm (or 130 × 180 mm).
• Each pattern must completely fit within a
single area (a, b, or c).
Step 3 Optimizing hoop changes
With the Optimize hoop change function, the
sewing order of patterns in a Design Page for
multi-position hoops is automatically optimized,
therefore reducing the risk of the embroidery
being sewn incorrectly or the fabric not feeding
evenly when the hoop position is changed too
often.

Memo:
Area a: Embroidering area when the multi-
position hoop is installed at the top installation
position.
Area b: Embroidering area when the multi-
position hoop is installed at the middle
installation position.
Area c: Embroidering area when the multi-
position hoop is installed at the bottom
installation position.
The dotted lines separate each area.

1: The position of this pattern is correct since
it fits completely within area a.

its position must be corrected since it does
not fit completely within any of the areas.
