Do this by pressing and holding down the frame button (the button with the rectangle on it), then press and hold the arrow buttons to move the hoop. Watch the laser beam to get a general idea of where you want the center to be. Make sure your design stays within the hoop limits (if you have to move it too much, you will need to re-hoop). If it's a really fit, mark your garment with a center mark and go in to maintenance - head timing - choose bottom center. This will bring your needle down and be the actual center (the laser can be off a smidgon as it is at an angle and the heighth of the fabic will affect it's accuracy). Click OK to return the needle to head up and you're good to go. Hope this makes sense. Good luck!
