Hi, I am very new here, I think this is my first post. I have a question and hope someone can help me. I have a Brother which I love and just got a Singer Futura XL 550. I have been playing around with my Singer and my question is, is there a way to move/adjust the hoop. For instance, If I hoop something and my center is off a little can I adjust the singer's hoop position? I know you can with Brother, I just cannot figure out this Singer. Hope that is not confusing. Thank you.
You can either drag a square around your entire design and then move it that way, or you can copy and paste it where you want it. It will be much easier for you if you have your grid marks checked "on" in the options. The hoop itself has center arrows on all four sides, so when you are lining it up on your screen, if you have the grid marks on, you can easily see in 1" increments where it needs to go.

Most designs have the needle set in the center, so sometimes I will remove the fabric from the frame (don't take the frame off the machine) and readjust the fabric so the needle will be above the spot where I want the center of the design to be, even put the needle down in the fabric, then set the fabric back into the hoop. Don't pull too hard and break the needle though.
I also have Brother machines, and love them.

Just visited http://www.threadsnscissors.com/ yesterday and found a few designs I want to try. Nearly every design set is $1.25, and that is not a typo, lol. She has hundreds of designs and the site is not extremely user friendly but I did find that the search feature helped. Just wanted to share this, no affiliation at all.
