If a design is already digitized, how can I add a start/end point to it? 
Usually, it's digitized to sew from center out so I normally work by marking 
center of the design. I need to know this so thank you for explaining.

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!

Thank you! 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.

Hi 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.  Sorry!

This is my third post without response. Could someone please reply. 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.
