    Centring Large Designs?

    A customer has ask us to stitch some large embroidery designs onto a hoodie. As we don't have a hoop that's accommodate all 3 designs I have to re-hoop 3 times!

    What method do you use to ensure the designs are centred relative to each other?

    Regards

    if i were sewing them on, i would measure and then use tailors chalk on each or even run a sewing thread along, a chalked line, which i pull out after, is there anything like that you could do ?

    could you use taylors chalk?

    OR - heat press creases into the hood .... but hooping might obliterate ....

    Hi John, hope you have solved your centering problem.
    Whilst sleeping/waking on Saturday morning I had an idea. You have an A3 printed I think. Why not print out on a piece of paper the outlines and center points of each design on one sheet of paper. You should be able to do this from Corel within Wilcom. Pin this to the garment and use this as a guide. And then as the others suggested, mark the centers with tailors chalk.

    Thanks all,

    I think we'll try the tailor's chalk first and see how we get on :)

    Cheers
