In PE-Design 11 you don’t change the hoop size “globally” in a preferences menu the way you might in other software. Instead, the hoop size (design page size) is something you select per design/layout — and you can save that design if you want it to open again with the same hoop size.

📌 How to Set / Change the Hoop (Design Page) Size
