Hi Sheila,
Maybe this will help: I found someone giving instructions for moving to different positions for the #21 card. It seems to be partly the same question you have, at least before it gets into font selection. I have never personally used a multi-position or plus hoop, but it sounds to me like to move to position 2, you might the rotational arrow, and then then you might see the F1 S1 M1 options in the right side of the window. I think you would press M1,2,or 3 in order to select position 1, 2, or 3.
Here's where I found it:

And here's the help that was given:
Slide in embroidery card 21 and companion cassette. Touch Embroidery ON.
Touch FUNC to Program mode, The “E” inside the hoop will appear on the left end of the Program display window. If Plus Hoop programming is desired, touch the rotational arrow E one time and you will see the hoop in the Program display window change into a Plus Hoop with a small arrow pointing to the top portion of the hoop, indicating position 1.
Toward the right side of the Program display window are
F1 S1 M1. F1 = Font style (1, 2 or 3), S1 = Size (1 or 2) and M1 = Menu (1, 2 or 3).
Here's a second set of instructions that look like they might be helfpul:

The plus hoop is a multi positional hoop that allows you you to embroider designs up to 4" x 6". It is essential for monogramming and lettering using your Rose. The Rose hooping system is the same as the 1+, the Scandinavia 300 and 400.
The designs you use must be formatted for the plus hoop. That is, the design has already been divided into two or three elements. Each element is an individual design. For instance, say the design is a long stemmed rose. It would probably be divided something like this: design 1: the flower and the top part of the stem, design 2: The middle part of the stem and the leaves, design 3: the bottom part of the stem.
You would hoop up your fabric to be embroidered, attach the hoop to the machine, set the hoop to position 1, select design 1, stitch out design 1, set the hoop to position 2, select design 2, stitch out design 2, set the hoop to position 3, select design 3, stitch out design 3. You should have a complete design when you're done and everything should match up perfectly!
The hoop is divided up into three squares, 4" x 4". Position 1 square overlaps position 2 square and position 2 square overlaps position 3 square. This overlapping allows the designs to stitch out more smoothly.
I hope this helps. Let me know if you have further questions. Carrie

I inherited my mother-in-law’s Husqvqrna Viking +1, I have no idea how to use it. I am trying to find out how old this machine is and if it requires oiling. It has not been used since she passed which is about 10 years ago. I do have a moderate amount of sewing experience. Is their a “how to manual” of care and use?
