I personally don't use fabric markers. I know we have some around the shop,
I just can't ever find them when I need 'em. So I've become accustomed to
using stick pins. Just make sure it's a fabric than will hide the pin
holes.
I've also used things like scotch tape and masking tape. You know, the
cheap kind that doesn't have really good adhesive. I'll put one
horizontally and one vertically to create a cross-hairs effect referencing
one edge of the tape strips. They tend not to leave anything behind. Be
sure to test your tape in non-conspicuous place

We love our HoopMaster and recently ordered the 22cm fixture for it! We use
it all the time with large jobs as well as small. I'm of the opinion that
if we can take the variability out of the production then we will
consistently do whatever we do the same (I've worked in the semiconductor
industry too long! who use procedures, copy exactly programs, etc.) That
way, when we get the repeat orders, hear that customers????, we are hooping
the same way, same place for those as well. One suggestion regarding this
is to put notes, notes, notes, notes into your DesignShop design!!!!! Make
a note of what color you use, where you hoop, where you place the logo and
anything else you can think of so that you will have a record for later on!
We recently got a repeat order for 31 jackets after only doing 1 jacket for
a father-in-law last Christmas and if they hadn't sent the original jacket
back to us, we would've been up a creek because we didn't have notes!
However, we have run up against the super thick CarHartt jacket where we had
to pull out the trusty rulers. One note on the HoopMaster, we also have the
what I call the cross-hair alignment tool for the 15 cm fixture. It works
perfectly when aligning above a pocket.
How about a suggestion on a removable fabric marker? I hate those white
pencil type because I cannot get them out!
Thanks!

Eyeball placement here!
although a hooping device seems like it would help on the bigger jobs
