I have seen a lot of very nice borders and was wondering how do you match when you do a section and have to move the hoop.

Thank you, I have saved both of them, will read them carefully.

You some GREAT answers and tutorials ;D *2U

This link is for Linens, but the basic concept is the same. You could do it this way to infinity, or not.;)

TU;great tutorial.

Thanks to all of you. capoodle do you have the link to the visual, I am sure it would help me.

Good luck, I haven't tried yet either but want to learn for when I do.

Here is a visual on how to use paper templates. It is titled "How to Use Machine Embroidery layout Templates" Marking and measuring is very important for proper placement of your design and with all embroidery designs the stabilizer and thread makes the difference between a flat design or a puckered design. For a border just make a few copies of the template the length you need.

Do you have a link to that visual? I'd like to have it on hand too.

Great questions. And Sewdoctor has given you the only answer I'm aware of.

Print a template, and plan plan plan! Use the template to mark placement.
