If you have version 9, you should be able to align the design in the hoop. You
could use the hem as your alignment reference, or draw a line parallel to the
hem to follow. Hoop the garment so that the line is in the hoop.
Look up "design registration" in the operator's manual. This will teach you how
to align the design at the machine.
Now, a trick is to use the design origin to give you an easy reference point
once the garment is hooped. Decide where you want the design to be on the
garment. For this example, let's say you want it centered on the side seam and
3" above the hem.
First, mark a point on the side seam 3" above the hem. Then, open the design in
Design Shop and show the grid and the design origin. Then move the entire
design so that it is centered 3" above the design origin line. (Use the grid to
help you do this accurately.)
Hoop the garment so that the bottom of the hem is visible. Load the design into
the OS, but don't center the hoop or the design. Follow the design registration
procedure using the bottom of the hem as your reference. This aligns your
design horizontally. Then move the hoop so that the laser points to the mark on
the seam.
When you trace, you will see the hoop move to the center of the design, trace
the design, then move back to the original point.
I hope this helps. If it's as clear as mud, please feel free to call.
