Tutorial 9-2: Creating Design for Multi-Position Hoops Notes on embroidering using the multiposition hoop • Before embroidering your design, sew a trial sample of the design on a scrap piece of fabric from your design, making sure to use the same needle and thread. • Be sure to affix stabilizer material to the back of the fabric and tightly stretch the fabric within the hoop. When embroidering on thin or stretch fabrics, use two layers of stabilizer material. If no stabilizer material is used, the fabric may become over-stretched or wrinkled or the embroidery may not be sewn correctly. cc For more ways to stabilize large designs, refer to "Attaching stabilizer to the fabric" on page 179 • Use the zigzag stitch for sewing the outlines in order to prevent embroidering outside the outlines. ■ Printing a Design Page for a multiposition hoop On the first page, a complete image of the Design Page is printed at actual size. (However, for a 130 × 300 mm Design Page, a reduced image of the Design Page is printed.) On the following pages, an image of each design section and its sewing information are printed in the sewing order. When [Actual Size] is selected: An image of the pattern in each design section is printed on a separate page as the corresponding sewing information. When [Reduced Size] is selected: An image of the pattern in each design section is printed on the same page as the corresponding sewing information. cc "Printing" on page 96 • For patterns that require the hoop to be installed at different installation positions, design the embroidery pattern so that the various parts of the pattern overlap in order to prevent misalignment while embroidering. 1 1 Overlap 187
