Hoop

Place up to two selected embroideries around the edge of the hoop, to make a border or frame.

The maximum size limit for Encore Hoop is 2000mm.

Remove Corners: The embroidery is repeated along the sides of the hoop, with one embroidery placed at 45 degrees in each corner of the hoop. Select Remove Corners if you do not want this embroidery in the corners.

Note: If two embroideries are selected, the embroidery that is first in the stitchout order is placed in the corners. Use the FilmStrip or Layout Order to change the order.

Gap: Set the minimum spacing between repeated embroideries.

Increasing Gap moves the embroideries further apart. Decreasing Gap moves the embroideries closer together. Negative Gap overlaps embroideries by up to 50%.

Note: The spacing will be increased if the Gap value would give a partial number of repeats on either side of the hoop. Thus, the spacing between the embroideries may differ on the long and short sides of the hoop.

Margin: Set the space between the line of repeated embroideries and the edge of the hoop. The maximum Margin is half of the shortest hoop dimension.
