Fit to Hoop

 Design elements can be scaled proportionately up to the hoop by selecting them and clicking the Fit Hoop tool. This will recalculate stitches wherever possible. There are limits, though, such as with regular embroidery designs, which can only be sized up to 250%. This button will scale your design as large as it can go, up to the built-in limits.

 

Note: The design will not completely fill the hoop. Even if you have a perfectly square design and a square hoop, you’ll notice a 5mm perimeter between the hoop and the design on all four sides. This extra space is desirable in case you add a basting stitch or need to adjust the design placement slightly at the machine.
