Defining custom hoops
If you are using a hoop size that is not in the hoop
list, you can define your own and save it for later
use. Two types of hoop can be defined or edited in
JANOME Embroidery Software – Rectangular and
Oval.
Custom hoops are needed because new hoops
become available for sewing machines more
frequently than the software is updated. Also some
machines include hoop adaptors for third-party
hoops which need to be defined in the software.
JANOME Embroidery Software records the
embroidery area of custom hoops to JEF file which
can then be read by multi-needle machines to
determine the stitching area. On the other hand,
the stitching area of single-needle machines is
determined by the selected hoop type. If the file
contains a ‘non-standard’ (custom) hoop code, the
hoop size is automatically based on the design size
which is used to limit the stitching area.
Note If you open a JAN file which contains a
custom hoop not included in the hoop list, or if the
hoop has the same name as a listed one but
different type and/or settings, JANOME
Embroidery Software creates a new custom hoop
with the same characteristics and tags it with a
system-generated name.
