Herb:
Just wanted to give you a BIG THANK YOU!
This technique worked like a charm. I hooped 4 jackets tonite with little
to no problems. They turned out straight and I was more confident putting
them on the machine. Instead of chalk, I used cheap masking tape which
worked great.
Now, if I can remember to make sure my princess isn't sewing thru the hood
and the back of the jacket at the same time (as I did on one tonite) I will
be in good shape! I was so excited I got it hooped so fast that I didn't
make sure everything was clear of the needle 8-) Thank goodness it was only
a $18 supplier jacket... Which now will be used for practice. Doh.
Anyway, just wanted to send feedback and thank you again.

Okay, at the risk of showing my ignorance...
STEP 1. I have marked all my hoops both horizontal and longitudinal so I
have reference points.
STEP 2. I lay the jacket out and use a yardstick to measure the back, just
where the sleeve seems connect at the bottoms (arm pits). This gives me the
width and hence the center point. Make a mark.
STEP 3. Do the same thing at the top of the garment, say where the sleeves
attach at the top. Make a mark.
STEP 4. Draw a line from top to bottom.....This line will be your reference
point to line your hoop up on the jacket. Measure down to find the center,
top or bottom of your design and as MELCO says,,,,,Push the green button
with confidence!!!!
There's my 2 cents worth...
Regards,
Herb/Royal Embroidery
