Did you know there’s a speedy auto sizing feature in all Inspirations software programs? It’s practically hidden but once you know how to find it, you’ll make it a habit to use all the time.
Open a design in any Inspirations software program such as Perfect Embroidery Pro, My Quilt Embellisher, My Block Piecer, Word Art in Stitches and more. Click on the Hoop icon (on the left tool bar).
Click on the hoop you want to use from the drop down menu. Use the scroll bar on the right to see all the hoop options. 
The design appears centered in the hoop but it’s much larger than the hoop I intend to use.
Click on the arrow under the Hoop icon and select Auto Fit.
Instantly, the design is resized to fit in that hoop! Of course, the stitches have been recalculated so there’s no worry about the design being too dense due to resizing. 
Auto Fit is such a time saver! The feature evens provides a little wiggle room so you don’t have to struggle during the hooping process.
Speaking of hooping, it’s HOOPAPALOOZA at DIME this week! If you’ve had a Snap Hoop Monster on your wish list, this is the time to take advantage of our low price, free shipping and gift with purchase. You can learn more here.

That is a good tip for those who have that software, I have Embird. Even with Embird I still have a hard time with large designs.
Be blessed,

6 years agoHow do I view the Live Facebook sessions. I know I can see the old ones on You Tube, but I can’t figure out the actual LIVE ones.
Thanks
