When you attach the hoop to the machine, you might notice the hoop is not calibrated right. This means the needle does not drop in the hole in the middle of the template.

Put the template in the hoop:

Use the template to find the center of the hoop

Start the embroidery machine, attach the hoop when asked in the animation, just like you do for embroidering.

Go to the setup program for settings, click on the symbol of the hoop.

This is the next screen you will get, click on the hoop. It’s the first one of the second line.

This is the calibration screen. When the needle comes exactly above the hole in the center of the template, you don’t need to calibrate. If the needle does not drop in the hole, you should remove the previous calibration by hitting the bin. Then move the hoop with the arrows untill the needle drops in the hole. Then confirm by hitting the green check mark.
