You could mark your hoop with a sharpie marker at the four corners to help with
lining up. Just a little dot at 12, 3, 6 and 9 o'clock. If you need additional
visual aides, use tailer's chalk and draw a line across the design area on the
garment (make sure the tailer's chalk will come off easily). Or print out the
design with the grid and you could pin the printout onto the garment and use
your hoop marks to line everything up. Remember to remove the pinned printout
before starting embroidery. When hooping, use the line on the garment (or the
printout) to match up with the dots on the hoop. Eventually, you'll train your
eyes and won't need them at all. Good luck.

I found this forum by total accident last night and I am thrilled to be a
part of it. I own my own small embroidery business and am fairly new to it.
There are days I think I'll never make it and then days where things go great!
Does anyone have a suggestion, hint, trick they use to make sure garments are
hooped straight? I have the Hoop Master board and I find I'm constantly
readjusting a shirt etc. once it's hooped on there. Even when it looks
straight, the logo will often times be off in one way or another. Shirts w/o a
center guide, such as tees and hoodies are a real challenge for me. I've had
to redo many items b/c I just can't seem to get the design straight, even w/
measuring, marking, and adjusting. Any helpful hints will be so appreciated!
