Deanna, is there any way that you can make the lettering a bit smaller? Or put a hash mark or x - somewhere in the hoop to align it - that is what they do with split designs. Good luck, dear one. *4U

Deanna, If you print the separate words on template plastic,you should be able to line them up quite accurately.Make sure the templates show the design center.

thanks for asking, I like to know also

As Ricky said print out templates and line them up, mark the centres and the middle lines of both, poke a small hole at the crossings in both centres, pin it on your material and mark the centres through the hole with a water or air erasable pen. That should give you exact placement. Good luck.

But if it's just a hair to small I would resize it slightly.

Susa Glenn has detailed instructions on aligning multiple parts to a design. there are a couple of links on her home page to them. Hope this helps. And a special thank you for all you are doing on the project.<br />Hugs and *, Lois

Oh Deanna, I have never done that before. It sounds like you have a few really good answers...but, I would thing the idea of reducing the size just a little would be the less complicated ... good luck!

Ricky & Martine have given u excellent advice. I would resize if you can but aligining the mid of design with mid of hoop is the way to go. If u do not have templates place hoop on some sort of grid(cutting board is nice. I have n times past done this & used eraceable quilt marker to put dot on hoop top & bottom then ea. side & used these markers to find center of hoop. *4u
