Use Hoop Selection
to choose the hoop size you wish to use in mySewnet™ Digitizing. Set the hoop size according to the size of your embroidery or the hoop you wish to use for stitching out, or enter any other desired size. Add hoops to your My Hoops group.
Use the hoop as a guide to check the final size of the embroidery. If there is a warning about the embroidery being too large for the hoop, you may save the embroidery anyway, then change to a larger hoop.
When you change hoop, you can change the size of the design in the work area automatically to fit the new hoop with Scale to Fit Hoop in the Modify Block menu on the Home tab.

The selected hoops will be displayed in the My Hoops group in the order that they were selected.
Select Natural or Rotated orientation according to the shape of the embroidery that is to fit in the hoop. Natural orientation is similar to the way the hoop would appear when you sit in front of your machine; note the position of the bracket.
It is recomended to use natural hoop orientation for designs with Twin Needle colors.
