I have a question for any Embird18 users...How do you set the default hoop size so that the default aways opens? It has an option to set a hoop size for the program to save designs as far as I can figure out. Every time I open the program now, I have to reset the hoop size.

Thanks, but I don't want Embird to open in the "correct size" hoop. I want to set the default hoop to a specific size and have Embird always open to that size.

I forgot to add that Embird always opens in the 4x4 hoop now regardless of the design size. I want to change that.

That is very strange as when I double click on a design from my folders(in windows) to open in Embird, it opens in the hoop appropriate to the design size.

This becomes a problem when I merge designs in Editor. If I have a smaller design and Embird puts it in a small hoop, the hoop size does not change when I merge a larger design to it.

No in the case of merging designs you would have to change the hoop size yourself.

I found how to do after many hours of trial and error and frustration. I did a custom hoop size and checked "keep hoop size, do not adjust." But then the hoop showed up in Manager. I was able to make the hoop disappear in Manager...but I can't remember what I did! I was just clicking everywhere to see what would happen.

I have several machines and use such a variety of design sizes it is easier to just save to the hoop size I want to use. The program tells you if the design won't fit in the hoop so easy to change it then.
