For this example, select 120 × 170 mm (130 × 180 mm). b Memo: • With the Section Size (for Hoop Size) setting, the width and height of the sections are 10 mm smaller than the actual hoop size in order to provide space for fine positioning adjustments with adjacent sections. • The preview area shows the setting changes that you make.
