USING PRINTED TEMPLATES Sometimes its very difficult to know how your finished design is going to look when you stitch it out on something. At Anita Goodesign, we use templates that print to scale to make sure our designs get stitched exactly where you want them to! To print a template you can use any embroidery software to open it up. Make sure you print actual size or scale 100%. This will make the print the same size as what you are going to stitch out. After you print, trim the excess paper around the image and highlight the crosshairs with a marker. These cross-hairs show you where the center is. Next visually place it where you like on your garment. Put two pins through the center of the cross-hair marking your vertical and horizontal center. Next, hoop your garment in the center of the hoop using the centering notches on your hoop. This means when you load the design on your machine, it will stitch out exactly where you want it. Once complete, your design would have stitched out exactly where you intended it to, eliminating the guess work as to how it will look once complete!
