Open Janome GigaHoop Design

Embird Embroidery Software Tutorial

1 - Run Embird and click the "Editor" menu to switch to the Editor window.

2 - Click the "Hoop Size" button, or select the "Options > Hoop Size" menu (Picture No. 1).

1. Select the "Options > Hoop Size" menu

3 - Choose the "Janome GigaHoop - Horizontal" or "Vertical" option (Picture No. 2). The typical position is horizontal, with two overlapping hoops. The vertical position works the same way as the horizontal, except the parts are automatically rotated by -90 degrees when loading/saving from/to the hard disk. Confirm the hoop selection by clicking the "OK" button.

2. Choose the right hoop

4 - Click the "File" menu and choose the "Merge" command. The "Merge Files" dialog box will appear on the screen (Picture No. 3). Select the file you want to open. You can select multiple files at once (e.g., by holding down the SHIFT key when clicking on a filename).

3. Merge files

5 - Embird will ask you about the position in the hoop for every file being merged into the Editor. If you are opening files that were prepared in Embird, you can deduce the position from the file name displayed in the bar at the top of the window. In this example, it is the "web_2.jef" file, and it should be placed into position 2 (left) of the hoop (Picture No. 4).

6 - Repeat steps 4 and 5 for every part. You can select multiple files in the "Merge Files" dialog box.

4. Specify hoop section

7 - Sometimes it might be necessary to change the order of objects. Drag and drop objects in the Objects Order Bar so that their order is correct (Picture No. 5).

5. Check composed design
