Do you own the Gigahoop or Overlap Hoop or perhaps a large hoop that needs the design split and re-joined at the machine - such as a Pfaff hoop?
Do you need help with splitting for that hoop?
Have you ever had problems with alignment at the machine with your hoop?
The Overlap and Gigahoops have been known to cause embroiderers a few heartaches at their machine as some have found that they have small gaps where their split design should re-join at the machine. Carolyn, with the help of her friend Bryden, has come up with a solution to this problem that will hopefully solve this problem.

In this 50 page tutorial, follow along with Carolyn as she takes you through splitting using the Janome Gigahoop as an example, and then shows you how to align the design at the machine.
Carolyn shows you two different methods of getting a good alignment at the machine. By the end of the tutorial you should feel confident enough to try your hand at splitting your own designs and stitching them out knowing that they will align nicely.
The lesson is filled with great information, photos and tips for splitting as well as aligning the design at your machine.

While this lesson is written using the Janome Gigahoop as an example, anyone with an Overlap hoop will also find this lesson very helpful as it shows you how to split and then re-align that design at the machine even when you have previously had problems aligning your designs.
Included with the tutorial are two lovely embroidery designs (as pictured above), generously supplied for your use by Ace Points Embroidery.
