I would add about a 10mm X at the beginning and end of the design where you want the new design to connect. Then do as suggested and drop the needle to the center of the X. You only want a single jump that forms the X so it is easy to remove later.

Not that I've done this but my thinking is to build in spacing in the motif. The other thought is to digitize from the "top" of the motif down so you can line up the needle each time (keeping it square might be challenging). For instance start at the - and end at the -.-ooooo)-Then before you start stitching, move to the first stitch, using the maintenance tab, put the needle at the bottom, check for placement, needle up, move if necessary, check again until you have it at the proper spot. I hope this makes sense. I do this if I have to fix a design that has been unhooped.As for keeping it square, you could always add some long stitches to the side to go along a chalk line that would be removed later.Good Luck!

I would love to see one of those machines . . . anyway, in the "mark/hoop/repeat" technique, if a band needs to butt up against the the one just sewn, what's the best advice in making sure that it looks flawless as a continuous border? I'm very new to digitizing so pretend I'm stupid. I won't be insulted.Geri ----- Original Message ----- From: OnleeJudy@xxxxxxx To: amayausers@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Sent: Tuesday, January 08, 2008 8:35 AM Subject: [amayausers.com] Re: Continuous EmbroideryHi Geri. I wish there were one, but there isn't. As far as I know, continuous embroidery is done on a really BIG machine...as in room sized....load on ROLLS of fabric, and embroider something like 45 inches in width at a time.Mark, rehoop, repeat.

I am trying to research how to embroider a continuous border using the Amaya XT. Is there a continuous border hoop that can be used? The application would be for 10 ft drapes and it needs a continuous border so that I don't have to rehoop each section. The domestic machines have a hoop for this purpose so I'm sure the industrial machines must as well but I haven't been able to find one. These hoops would also be used for legs of jeans, shower curtains, blankets, etc.Geri Start the year off right. Easy ways to stay in shape in the new year.
