They beautifully aligned perfectly straight with your help. Both pieces look as if I stitched them out continuously, as if on a roll. I began by drawing two lines along the entire length of two (90" and 100") widths of Silk Dupioni fabric with a water soluable disappearing ink pen. I edited my design so that the starting left point was the vertical center (Y axis) of the beginning of the design and set the hoop center at this point. Turns out that I found that I did not need or use the alignment registration stitch marks of this particular design. The LEFT, RIGHT, CENTER laser alignment commands worked so beautifully to help me position the left starting center point of the design to be stitched directly on top of the last ending center point of the previously stitched design. And since they were the ending and starting center points, I positioned the laser on the lines drew on the fabric. So easy and precise I did not have to worry about how straight I hooped the fabric. Thanks again FME for you help. I am totally LOVIN' my Amaya XT and Amaya OS!
