When i am sewing a big doily on my machine(husqvarna) it says 249x181 can someone tell me what that means?/If its size what is it??Thanks

I understand. I had that problem and it took me the longest time to figure it out, because my hoop was much bigger than the area I was stitching. Lol!
The answer is 9.84 x 7.08 inches.

Get site. Thanks for posting this!

It's the size of your doily measured in millimetres and it fits in your 260 x 200 mm hoop (10 x 8" approx.).

yes that's it Lidia but when i enlarge anything to 8 it won't except it???

Even though the hoop is 200mm wide, the machine won't accept exactly 200mm, but will accept 199mm. :)

Hi Noah, don't know what model Husqvarna you have but if you have the 360 x 200 hoop I would be using that. I am assuming 249 x 181 is the size of the embroidery itself.

yes i think so??

Hi Carolyn, 249x181 is equivalent to about 9.8 x 7.12inches . I'd use the largest hoop you have with your Husqvarna machine. You might have to adjust the design to fit the hoop. Good luck, love Chris
