I have the Brother 650E, and I got the Magna Hoop set for it. Im having a very hard time with the placement of the design in the hoop that I picked for the project. I found the software for placement in these hoops. Is there another way to do this? I have Floriani software now. I sure hate to spend $45.00 and the find there is another way. Thanks for your help!!

not ananswer but a question do you like this machine and how long have you had it june

Did you get a clear plastic template with this hoop? That's what I often use with my Janome. If I want to be certain I'm about to sew in the right place, then I add a small + or some such thing just where I'm to start. I do that with my digitizing software. You could probably organise a basting stitch to go around the inside of that hoop with a plus at dead centre, so you know you have it hooped in the right place.
