Use your 'trace' command to help center the headband. I would use the speedframe setup for this-like doing the knit beanies...much faster than using a hoop. Same thing-masking tape on the edges of the frame to make your marks on. Another trick to finding the lineup...hoop up 2 pieces of thick backing (instead of wasting a headband), run the design...before your hoop, put on the masking tape-after running the design, mark your top and bottom (of the headband) on the tape while the backing with design is still in place! Then you can hoop your headbands easily. Use soft tearaway for backing or the 'wash a way' backing-not cut away. =========================================================== The AmayaUsers Mailing List Website: http://www.amayausers.com Discussion Board: http://www.amayausers.com/boards Subscribe/Unsubscribe: http://www.amayausers.com/list ===========================================================
