Turning any embroidery into an Endless design for any hoop is done with the click of an icon! Choose your hoop first - any hoop you want - except your turnable hoops. Bring up a beautiful design, and then click Endless. The different options you find will affect how your design looks in the end. You need to tell the software which direction you will be moving the fabric when you stitch out your Endless design. Will you be moving the fabric Up, Down, to the Left or to the Right? You will notice in our example we will be moving the fabric Up, so the End markers are at the bottom and the Start markers are at the top.

Speaking of End Markers, you need to determine if you want a Corner marker or just a jump stitch from one marker to the other. You can also choose a Tie Off which is very secure or to have a Line stitches from one marker to the next.

Your last Option is where you want the Markers to be positioned. If you choose Both, they will be on both sides of the design as shown here. If you choose Left/Bottom, they will only be on the left side at the bottom. If you choose Right/Top, they will only be on the right side and at the top. The option Both allows you to easily line up your design from one Endless stitching to the next in any hoop!

Did you notice we now have four butterflies? The actual design is just two butterflies, but with Repeat Embroidery checked, the software will repeat the embroidery as many times as possible for the hoop you have selected!

ColorSort and Remove Overlap will do just that - ColorSort the multiple designs and remove any overlap that occurs to give you the best possible stitch out of your design. When you click OK, the alignment stitches are added and you are ready to stitch out your design!

The Endless icon is found in 5D^TM and 4D^TM Embroidery Extra, and 5D^TM and 4D^TM Embroidery.

Do you ever play with the PatternMake tab in 5D^TM or 4D^TM Stitch Editor? You can take a plain, ordinary design and turn it into something unique with the PatternMake option! PatternMake is like stamping your embroidery design - changing the pattern in a fill or satin area.

First, open a design in 5D^TM or 4D^TM Stitch Editor. Isolate a specific color or section you want to PatternMake. Go to the PatternMake tab. Make sure to Remove Needle Points in Fill first. Then select the stamp you wish to use. Select Small Stamp or Large Stamp then use one of the three stamping options to create a new look to your design!

Go back to the Design tab. Draw All Stitches and see your new masterpiece. Here we changed the snowman’s body to have a fun snowflake pattern.

Experiment with different designs and stamps to see just how creative you can be!

Do you like to create Majestic Hoop designs but you want to save them without splitting them? Maybe you are not quite finished creating your masterpiece. There is an easy trick to save a Majestic Hoop design temporarily as a single design instead of a split design!

Go to Hoop and at the bottom check Enter Hoop Size. Notice the Majestic Hoop measurements are already set for you! Click OK and then Save the design. Please note - you cannot send this design to your embroidery machine. You must go back to Hoop and take the check mark out of Enter Hoop Size. You will be back to your Majestic Hoop and ready to split the design.
