centre. What ways do you centre designs that need to be centred. I use the guide in my inner hoop to line it all up and then try to slide the outer hoop underneath. But then it moves and it takes a few goes before I manage to centre it all again. Am I doing it the wrong way or do all you Cuties have the same problem?

I use each of these techniques from project to project - they all work for me, too. *4U

Hi Ingrid, I fold the towel and place a pin where the center is. Lay the top of the hoop over the spread out towel and match together and hoop it up. If the towel is to thick.. I had a frustrating episode where the towel jumped out of the hoop during the embroidery ... ggrr.. in this instance hoop the stabilizer first, then pin the centered towel over it. You could even baste the towel to the stabilizer first, then hoop only the stabilizer into the hoop. Good Luck! Mary

I do not put my towel in the hoop. I pin it to the stablizer and then fix the towel in place with the running stitch...as far as centering it, I fold it in half and use my markers inside of my hoop for placement and then pin the towel down...hope this works for you and have fun with it
