created is larger than the embroidery hoop.

Step 1
Specifying the Design Page 
size in Layout & Editing
Click 1, then 2.
Specify the Design Page size and the size of
the design sections.
(1) Select the type of embroidery machine to 
be used.
(2) Select Custom Size, and then type or 
select the desired width and height for the 
Design Page. This setting is to specify the 
exact width and height of a design. For 
this example, set width to 230 mm and 
height to 330 mm.
(3) Click in the Section Size (for Hoop Size) 
selector, and then select the size of the 
sections (your embroidery hoop). For this 
example, select 120 × 170 mm 
(130 × 180 mm).
Click OK.

Memo:
• With the Section Size (for Hoop Size) 
setting, the width and height of the sections 
are 10mm smaller than the actual hoop size 
in order to provide space for fine positioning 
adjustments with adjustment sections. The 
10mm is for overlapping.
• It is not necessary for the Section Size (for 
Hoop Size) to match the Design Page size. 
Select the hoop size to be used for sewing.
