I measure the distance from the center of the design to the bottom in DS. Place the tape centered left to right, and add 1/4-1/2" to your DS measurement. You can then use your laser to place the design. As for hooping, I use a point on each side of my hoop to ensure the pocket stays level. I've not been able to achieve great consistency with the hooping aids.
