  1. ✨ Follow-Up: How to Hoop a Hat on a 4×4 Hoop (Beginner-Friendly, Real Experience!) 🧢🪡After my last hat embroidery post, I couldn’t add more photos — so here’s the full breakdown of how I hoop and embroider hats using a 4×4 hoop and the floating method. This comes straight from hands-on trial, errors, broken needles 😅, and actual success. 🧵 The Method: Floating a Hat on a 4×4 HoopInstead of forcing a structured cap into a hoop (which rarely ends well), I: Hoop only the stabilizer I hoop Sulky Sticky Tear-Away stabilizer by itself. Float the hat on top The hat is carefully positioned and pressed onto the sticky surface. Align. Check. Re-check. Placement matters every single time. Hats are unforgiving. Manually hold the brim flat I press down on the bill while stitching starts to keep everything flush. 💡 Expert Tips (From the Trenches) 🧠 Beginner Takeaways✨ “This post finally taught me what floating means!” ✨ “Didn’t know the stabilizer goes in the hoop alone — game changer!” ✨ “Also learned floating is essential for terry cloth!” If you’re new: you’re not behind — you’re learning the right way. 🧵 Hats vs Patches — Honest Comparison🧩 Patches Easier More forgiving Less stress 🧢 Direct-to-Hat Embroidery Looks much better More nerve-racking 😅 Totally worth it 📊 My stats so far: ✔️ 10 successful hats ❌ 2 throwaways (That’s a win in hat embroidery!) 🖥️ Machine & Software NotesMachine: Brother SE2000 Software: Embrilliance Not cheap 💸 Very intuitive (think Adobe Illustrator for embroidery) Excellent YouTube tutorials (a 5-video series helped a lot!) ✅ Final Thoughts🧢 Hats are harder than patches — no question. 🧵 Floating is the key skill that unlocks hat embroidery. 👀 Supervision + patience = success. 💥 Expect a few failures — that’s part of mastering it. If you’ve been nervous to try hats… this is your sign. Save this post, slow down, and go for it 💪✨ Have you tried floating yet — or are you about to? 👇😊

  3. 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) SizeOpen PE-Design 11 and either start a new design or open an existing one. Go to the Layout & Editing window (the main editing screen). Look for the Design Page settings — usually a toolbar or menu where you see current hoop size displayed. Click the hoop dropdown or the “Hoop Size” / “Design Page Size” option. Select the hoop you want from the list of available sizes. This adjusts the work area so your design fits the selected embroidery hoop. When you save your design, PE-Design will remember the hoop size for that file. If you want to reuse the same hoop by default for new designs, you can save a blank design with that hoop size and open it as your starting template.
