Multi-Hoop

Multi-Hooping is a special feature in the Futura software that will

allow embroidery data which is larger than a single embroidery

hoop to be sent to the machine to stitch out, while making it

easy to re-hoop the fabric so that each part of the design lines

up exactly. This embroidery data may be a single design that

is too large for the hoop or a combination of smaller embroidery

elements and/or lettering, that when combined together make a

much larger finished design. See Fig. 1.

The Multi-Hoop feature splits the design elements in up to four

different parts; and then sews them precisely, matching one

section to the other. When re-hooping the fabric, the Multi-

hoop feature will compensate for misalignment if the fabric has

been placed slightly askew in the hoop.

When stitching an embroidery design that is too large for the

hoop, it can be difficult to re-hoop the fabric with exact alignment.

Multi-Hoop utilizes a system where three alignment points (A, B,

and C) are input on cross lines that have been marked onto the

fabric. When these points are input, they inform the machine

exactly as to how the fabric is positioned into the hoop and will

therefore sew the design to the alignment of the cross lines. If

the fabric is slightly askew, this system will compensate for it and

sew accordingly. Please note: the Multi-Hoop feature will only

compensate for a slight misalignment in the vertical cross line.

Please try to hoop the fabric as accurately as possible.

Preparing the Fabric
Please note: The fabric must be large enough to

accommodate the amount of hoops that will be required to

stitch out the design.

1. Using a very fine-lined water soluble marker, mark a line

vertically down the center of the fabric.

2. Mark a line horizontally across the center of the fabric.

The vertical and horizontal lines must be at precise right

angles to each other. These lines will now be referred to

as the”cross lines”. These cross lines will be used to set

the fabric into the hoop according to the divided design

layout.

In the Software
1. Select

Tools from the horizontal tool bar, select Hoop

and then select
