Also mark your hoops the same way. Line up the marks when you hoop and you should be in the correct location and straight. If you are using a large hoop, you can wrap the inner hoop with a sports tape or grossgrain ribbon to keep the fabric from slipping. I have used small strips of rubber shelf lining and inserted in areas that I didn't feel were snug (the long side of the larger hoops). Just keep them small so they don't get sewn into your project. What other concerns do you have?
