Thank you for the video and direct location of the download. Helped immensely.
You are welcome!
I finally got brave enough to pull out my snap hoop ruler. So thankful I found this video to show me how to apply the rulers. Thank you for taking the time to make this video.
You're welcome Beth! Glad you enjoyed the video
Thank you for making this video!🎉❤
You're welcome Mandy!
Thanks for your clear and concise tutorial. I just did mine following your instructions.
That's great Evelyn! Glad you enjoyed the video.
Thank you - very helpful! It's silly, I've had my Monster Snap Hoop for several years and never needed to apply my rulers until today - for a quilting class. Your video was quite helpful to me and it looks like many others as well.
So glad you enjoyed the video!
This was SUPERB! I bought my first THREE snap hoops before you posted this and really struggled with this. I just bought the Sticky hoop for some embroidery for my daughter's wedding bridal party PJs (translation - don't want to scrrew them up) - I have looked at a lot of UA-cam videos and even looked at the DIME blog and couldn't find anything. So thank you, thank you, thank you - I wish DIME referenced their blog and the crosshairs file in the box. Now I will go back and fix the first 3. And I have subscribed to this channel and will go join the Facebook group. Thank you again!
Glad you enjoyed the video! Have fun using your snap hoops.
This was just what I was looking for! Thanks 🤗
Awesome! Glad I could help.
Thank you for showing how to do this. Just bought a hoop myself.
Glad you enjoyed the video!
Thank you! I love my SnapHoop last month and have used it a good bit, but was hesitant to apply the rulers. This was a great help!
Glad I could help!
Thanks for the demo, I did my monster hoop a while ago, needed a refresher video so I can do the sticky hoop! Already to go now.
Glad you enjoyed the video Pamela!
Invaluable, thank you so much❤
You're welcome, Sandy! Glad you enjoyed the video.
Thank you for the video, was very helpful. Sure got my fingers black and blue, very powerful magnets.
Glad you enjoyed the video Margaret! Yes, watch your fingers!
Gee, as much as we paid for these you would like the factory would have these placed!
I think they leave the rulers off the hoops so you can decide if you want them. Most standard hoops do not have rulers but instead grids. The magnetic hoops don't have grids so they provide optional rulers
That's what I was thinking too 😂
I stitch out the crosshair in all my designs when I am doing anything that needs to be centered such as towels or even corners of napkins. For those corners, I use a corner crosshair and then I can place the napkin directly onto the stabilizer. There is no need to put the rulers on the snap hoop.
Hi Carole! I didn't put my rulers on for a long time, but finally put them on a couple of years ago. I found it very helpful when I was quilting to keep my quilt straight in the hoop. I mostly use my magnetic hoops for quilting. If you don't want them on, leave them off. Do what works for you.
How do you mark the stitching area, once you have taken out the cross hair you have no guide. All my Pfaff hoops have a design area marked on them.
Hi Amy! The Snap Hoops don't have the plastic grids like most standard hoops. They have a new centering tool called Snap Guides on their website which work great and act like the grid.
HI, unfortunately, for some reason I can't access the crosshair PES file, do you have any other suggestions please? Thank you for the video !
Hi Helen! The link to the download is in the first paragraph of the blog post. That is in the description below this video, but here is the link directly to the cross hairs. www.dzgns.com/downloads/
Thank you @@sewalongwithjan, but the link doesn't work at all. No idea why.
@@helenjenkins9829 Hi Helen! The link worked for me and took me right to the download page. Are you on the PC or Mac computer or a phone/tablet? Which browser are you using?
thank you. I just realized what the "rulers" are for and am attempting to put them on. I had not done this yet. July 2023
The rulers really help to line things up. Took me a long time to put them on too, but really made a difference
how do I get that stitched design? I dont have a laser or pal
Hi Sheri! The link to the design in is the description of the video above, but here is the link for you. blog.dzgns.com/2020/03/how-to-apply-centering-guides-on-snap-hoop-monster/
Thank you very helpful video
You are welcome, Sonia!
Thanks for the file and tutorial. I did have a bit of an issue separating the hoops after sewing.. I think my stabilizer was so thin and the magnets so strong.
Yes, the hoops are strong! Also watch your fingers.
How do I join this group
I have a group on Facebook called Sew Along With Jan. My UA-cam channel is also called Sew Along With Jan and you can subscribe if you like.
Hi Jan. A quick question. Is there a site where I can find if my brother innov is NQ 3500D can use the snap hoops?
Yes, you can use the 4x4, 5x7, and 6x10 snap hoops from Dime
Thank you so very much! I’ve been searching and searching to no avail! Accidentally found this video in UA-cam and took a chance. Again thank you for your help! I definitely will subscribe!
@@rosadelaney6754 You are very welcome!
Jan, would I be able to order the 3 hoops I need from you?
@@rosadelaney6754 yes. They are available on shieldssewingcenter.com
I can't find the correct files to download to my usb stick, so that I can embroider out the design to even extend the lines to be able to place my rulers at the zero line. I have been trying for a couple of days now, and I am done.
The link is in the description under this video, but here it is for you. The link says "click here" in the first paragraph and should download directly to your computer. blog.dzgns.com/2020/03/how-to-apply-centering-guides-on-snap-hoop-monster/
so I have a Janome and the 8x12 snap hoop monster. My machine does not have that size hoop in it. So when ever I use the monster hoop I don't have the full embroidery area. So ill my cross hairs come out correctly?
I would guess no since it sounds like your machine doesn't actually accommodate the full size of the hoop. What is your actual largest hoop size?
I love you for this!!!
Glad you enjoyed the video!
This is not so easy how in the world do you find the cross hair stitch on the Baby lock Altair ? The Altair is new to me and I must be dumb I can't find it lol just got the snap hoop9.5"x14"thanks for your time but can any one let me no
The cross hair design you need is on the Dime Blog. I put the link to the blog post in the description below this video. You can download the placement cross hair there.
Hello, i need the crosshairs for my 5x7 PE800. It's only showing for 4x4 for my machine, but i have a 5x7 LM6 snap hoop for BROTHER
You can use the 4x4 design in the 5x7. It still centers just fine.
How do you mark the centre when you have a Bernina 260 x 400 and the centre is off to the right a little and the cross hairs do not stitch out.
Hello! Dime has a little design you put into your machine and stitch out on stabilizer in your new hoop. Here is the link to the Dime Blog post where you can download the design to apply your rulers. This link is also in the description under my video. blog.dzgns.com/2020/03/how-to-apply-rulers-on-snap-hoop-monster/
What is the Facebook group called for these Dime Snap hoops? I can only find the UK one, and I'm in the US.
Designs in Machine Embroidery has a business Facebook page and Dime Inspiration Software has a Facebook group.
So helpful, thank you!
You're welcome!
Where can I find your blog to get the cross hair?? I can’t seem to find it.
Hi Paula! The link is in the description below my video, but here it is for you: blog.dzgns.com/2020/03/how-to-apply-rulers-on-snap-hoop-monster/
Where do you download the crosshairs marks for different size hoops
On the DIME blog. Here is the link. It is also in the description below my video. blog.dzgns.com/2020/03/how-to-apply-rulers-on-snap-hoop-monster/
I messed up my ruler, where can I buy another?
The Dime website has them, or if you attend an online event, they have them on there.
did you say something about getting new rulers? how much are they?
Hi Jani! I believe they are like $4.99 on the Dime website
I selected the only link I could find & couldnt find a design link in the page it took me too.
I just answered this in your comment above
Thank you
You're welcome!
Great video, unfortunately I attempted to apply them before I watched and messed up 3 of them. I can manage with one and will just mark the sides with a marker :)
Hi Lynn! Glad you enjoyed the video. You can order more rulers from the Dime website. I had to replace a copy of them myself.
Where do you get the cross hair design
I just answered this in your comment above.
order them now they have free shipping i just had to order another set i was an idiot and put them on the bottom hoop when i first got my hoop !! hahahaha oopsie!!! hahahaha thanks for the tutorial!!
Glad you enjoyed the tutorial
I don’t have a program either that scans the hoop
You don't need to scan. Just get the Dime cross hair design from this link, and sew it out like I did in the video: blog.dzgns.com/2020/03/how-to-apply-rulers-on-snap-hoop-monster/
They sure made it hard to find the link to the cross hair download file.
The link to the blog article is in the description right below this video. The link in the article to the cross hair design is in the 2nd sentence of the article below the red picture. Here is what is says "Download the Crosshair design (click here)". You click on the words "Click here"
i had trouble too, never did find it
TOO BAD YOU WAITED THIS LONG TO PUT THE VIDEO ON. MINE ARE NOT PLACED CORRECTLY
So sorry to hear that. I had to order a couple extra sets to replace some of mine so they were correct
Be careful not to put any of the ruler over the inner edge. It is very annoying. Thank you for this demo.
Great suggestion! I try to keep the Rulers a little from the edge to they don't pull off.
unfortunately I can't get it to go to my sewing machine. so this " blog" is useless to me
Hi Linda! So sorry you are having trouble. What can't you get to your machine? The cross hair design? I can help you further if you like. Jan
I’m having the same problem@@sewalongwithjan
Hi Lori! Did you unzip or extract the cross hair design? The machine doesn't read zip files.
Where do I get the crosshairs design for my embroidery machine?
Hi Shirley! The link to the crosshair design is in the description below the video above, but here it is for you to click on: blog.dzgns.com/2020/03/how-to-apply-centering-guides-on-snap-hoop-monster/ The actual link is in the first paragraph of the blog post.
