Hoop Sizes and 3D button

4X4 is 100 X 100mm.

Mid size hoop is 4 X 6 3/4 (100 X 170mm).

Big hoop is 6 X 9 (150 X 240)

Mega hoop is 6 X 13 3/4 (150 X 360mm)

Little tip. When you choose the hoop size under "preferences", it brings up a list. The tops ones are called Universal. The pictures of the hoops will show just hoops.


The bottom ones starting with 40 X 40 Spring are the Viking ones. When you click on one of them, you will see the hoop connector that looks like your hoop.

If you click on the 3D button on the toolbar, it will show the hoop design area with a darker outline all the way around the actual design area for that hoop size if it is in the 2D mode. The same button just toggles from 2D to 3D and the difference is obvious.




So, I like to customize on the 2D screen so I can clearly see that I am within the borders of the design area.

In 3D mode, the design will look more realistic, but the perimeter of design area will only show the corners of the design area.
