Plan a balanced neckline placement

Mark the garment before hooping so the design sits where you intend.

Find the centerline

Use a removable marker appropriate for your fabric. Mark the garment center and neckline reference points before placing your template.

Check seam allowances

Keep the embroidery clear of cutting and stitching lines. Compare the design’s finished dimensions with the garment pattern and intended opening.

Verify orientation

Check the top of the design on the machine screen. Use a paper template and boundary trace where supported, then remove the template before stitching.
