Hi Carolyn, 249x181 is equivalent to about 9.8 x 7.12inches . I'd use the largest hoop you have with your Husqvarna machine. You might have to adjust the design to fit the hoop. Good luck, love Chris

Hi Noah, don't know what model Husqvarna you have but if you have the 360 x 200 hoop I would be using that. I am assuming 249 x 181 is the size of the embroidery itself.

It's the size of your doily measured in millimetres and it fits in your 260 x 200 mm hoop (10 x 8" approx.).

yes that's it Lidia but when i enlarge anything to 8 it won't except it???

Even though the hoop is 200mm wide, the machine won't accept exactly 200mm, but will accept 199mm. :)

I understand. I had that problem and it took me the longest time to figure it out, because my hoop was much bigger than the area I was stitching. Lol!
The answer is 9.84 x 7.08 inches.
