Just make a 'circle' design, and expand it to fit in the gray area-then under properties/status find the exact size. Mark this on the hoop with a permanent marker. Do the same for each size and from then on when you grab a hoop you'll know the size of the design area. =========================================================== The AmayaUsers Mailing List Website: http://www.amayausers.com Discussion Board: http://www.amayausers.com/boards Subscribe/Unsubscribe: http://www.amayausers.com/list ===========================================================
