I turned it inside out and put most of it over the top of the machine. The tote needs to be large enough if you want to do it that way. Some people build risers to put under their machine so the bag can hang down but the bag still needs to large enough to fit over the embroidery arm if you want to do that.
I hooped cut away and used wss on top. I pinned a lot! If I did it again I would make the monogram a little lower since my foot hit the grommets on the bag a bit.

You can do very large bags using this method. It looks great.

Good trick! I usually do T-shirts upside down as it is easier to manoeuvre and I usually remember to invert the design as well!
