Fitting Designs into the Grand Hoop
Step by step description of how to cut existing designs that are too large for the Pfaff large hoop so that they fit into the Grand Hoop. Two examples are described showing how you can use the editing features in the software to split and recombine designs. The first example is a relatively easy design to split as it has elements that are spaced apart. The second example is a large floral design with a detailed outline.( pictured above) This design is split with the software and recombined in the Grand Hoop with images of both the stages in the software and actual stitch outs of the process.
