Hoop and paper

The block letters need room: smaller hoops than these do not hold these words.

    This arrangement opens on an 8 inch hoop because the block letters are worked in satin stitch and need room. A short name and a short date fit a 6 inch hoop as well, and a date too long for one line is set on two.

    How to use it

    1. Type your own words in the boxes. The hoop shows them as you type.
    2. Choose other flowers, or tap a picture in the list to add it.
    3. Change any floss color under Colors: press a color, then choose another.
    4. Tap a part of the hoop to move it, make it larger or smaller, turn it or take it off. You can drag it too.
    5. Choose your hoop size and paper, then press Download.
