This hoop was designed for the Brother 8200 and has markings on the rail for that machine.

Section B is 50 mm below A, section C is 50 mm below B, etc. Finally, section E is 284 mm from the top inner edge of the hoop. Rotate the hoop by 180 degrees and mark the sections on the left side using the same measurements. Please note that you will have to move the designs prepared in Embird by 7 mm to the left on your embroidery machine. Use your left arrow key on the sewing machine to bring the design to the far left (7 clicks of the arrow key) prior to embroidering. This will provide largest design area possible and prevents the needle mechanism from hitting the hoop.
