A range of commercial brands is available in EmbroideryStudio for a wide variety of machines and design types. The My Hoops option allows you to define a filtered list of those hoops you have available for use. If you are using a hoop not appearing in the hoops list, the Options > Hoop tab also lets you define your own and save for later use.

To set up a hoop list...

1Click Hoop Options or right-click the Show Hoop icon. The first time you run it, the Options dialog will open with the My Hoops dialog already opened. Otherwise, click the My Hoops button.

2Use the My Hoops dialog to set up your own list of available hoops. Optionally, use the Search bar to filter the list by hoop type. It’s not limited to search by hoop type only. You can enter numbers – e.g. ‘150 x 150’ – or key character/s to filter both lists at the same time.

Usage tips...

3Only hoops from the My Hoops list will be available for manual or automatic selection.

3You may be working with hoops which don’t appear in the standard hoop list. Define your own hoops using circle, oval, rectangle, and other shapes.

3When removing a hoop from the My Hoops list, it will persist in the droplist while it remains the currently selected hoop. Select ‘No hoop selected’ and close the dialog to remove the hoop altogether.
