    I received a Snap-Hoop 5 7/9″ x 10″ for Christmas and cannot get it to work on my Bernina 730. This is the message I get: The embroicery module was not able to detect the upper (1) position. Lift the presser foot, reposition the Mega Hoop to Upper (1) position and ensure that the notched snaps in. Please press OK to start calibration.

    I have a Bernina Mega Hoop and know how to move it to position 1 but cannot see how to move this one. Please help.

      I have the same problem. I even have the Bernina Designer V6 software and tried to create a “new” hoop with no success. The only way I can get the Snap Hoop to work is to first load my regular oval hoop, let the machine run through its routine to detect it, and then substitute the Snap Hoop. A lot of bother.

        Mitzi,
        I have been wanting the Snap Hoop since it first came out. I have a Bernina 730 embroidery machine. I will pass it up if it is a lot of bother. It appears to be a wonderful tool.
        Please advise what model machine you are working with.

    I love the design on the neckline with aqua thread and jewels. Can you give the name of the embroidery design. It’s posted on Eileen’s embroidery machine blog.

    I learned an awful lot, excellent blog post!

    Several years ago there was an article in your magazine explaining how to make a denim outfit for an American Girl Doll and I think the article might have been titled Denim Duds for Dolls or something of this sort. I have the embroidery design but I cannot find the instructions that go along with it. Could you please tell me what issue that was from and if it is still available?? I would like to make this project and would appreciate your help. Thanks

    I have been trying to make the embroidered chothes size organizers for babies from the Apetember/October 2012 issue (volume 76) and I seem to be missing a section. I was able to make the labels (step 1) and prepare the closet tabs (step 2), but I have been unable to find the placement guide for the label. Do I not have design Tab1? I rechecked the downloading info in the magazine but it seems the design is no longer available on the website? Help! I am in the middle of this project and need help to finish! Thanks!

    I just love your design on the project: Day 7 on the Nancy Zieman Tablet Keeper Tour. I have been looking for awhile now on a TUT on how to make those word art designs. Is there a template or program? I have a Pfaff creative vision embroidery machine. I have seen these designs on etsy.com with birth announcements, marriage info, etc. Would love to design my own. thank you for any info you can offer. Kathy

    I heard at a meeting sometime ago that you can keep scraps of your water soluble stabilizer and dissolve them in water to use as a starch. Can anyone tell me a formula for this or advise if it even works.

    Thank you,
    JayDee
