I remembered a little from training and used the big hoop with poplin stuck to a cutaway backing. however, I somehow managed to have this design with two separate parts. When I tried to copy the design in DS to see how many I could get on the hoop, I could copy the first half or the last half but not both togeather. Finally just moved the hoop to one corner and did one, moved again, etc. After they were all finished, I used Floriani Applique Wonder, pressed it on the back. Now they can peel off the backing and stick it on their jacket and sew it down. Has anyone had trouble with the corners of the big hoops? The sew field is square but the hoop has rounded corners. Boy, be careful how close you get to the hoop in those corners! I heard this rattle and shut everything off, reset and moved! Thanks, Roland --- "Roland R.
