Sew the Right Side
Hoop your fabric so that position #1 for the carriage turnkey is at the upper right of the hoop. This hooping will sew the right side of the design on the right side of the hoop as you set it up in the EasyGigaHoop program.
Clamp the turnkey at position #1 to the carriage arm.
Place the plastic template (provided with the hoop) into the four notches on the inner hoop ring.
Using the four "jog" keys on the screen,
move the hoop until the needle passes through the Exact Center of the "Starting Point" hole in the template.
Sew the entire right side of the design, which will sew upright. When it has completed sewing, you will be prompted to remove and rotate the hoop.
Remove the GigaHoop from the carriage arm. Rotate it so that position #2 is now in the upper right side.
Remove the carriage clamp from position #1 on the hoop and insert it into position #2. This hooping will sew the left side of the design as you set it up in the EasyGigaHoop program; it will sew upside-down.
Clamp the GigaHoop at position #2 to the carriage arm.
Place the plastic template into the four notches on the inner hoop ring again.
Using the four "jog" keys on the screen,
move the hoop until the needle passes through the Exact Center of the "Starting Point" hole in the template.
Sew the entire left side of the design (upside-down).
When it is completed, your GigaHoop design is completed, and aligned perfectly!
