DesignShop has a "show hoop" feature and will let you know if the design will fit into a certain hoop. You should ALWAYS trace a design before sewing to avoid hitting a hoop. From: "Kesavan" <kesavan@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx> To: <amayausers@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Date: Thu, 1 Jun 2006 09:07:07 +1000 I am about to do 10 Jacket backs 100K stitches each. Its on the 43 cm wood hoop. If I set hoop limits on and trace will the machine or the software tell me if I am going to hit the Hooop? I dont wannt to start sewing and then find out the machine has stopped because it has reached the hooop limit.
