This video clip demonstrates how to apply adhesive rulers.
You can apply them to the top and bottom frames of your Snap Hoops, as well as to the Sticky Hoop, as shown.
Hi Barbara,
Congratulations on your new hoop! Yes, I would recommend using the 4x4 and extending it using a PAL (such as this one) or a ruler. Also, I'm sorry to hear that the rulers on your hoop are not great. If you need new ones, you can find them here. Thanks for reaching out! Please let us know if you have any other questions, and have a great day.

I just bought the 8x12 hoop. I can't seem to locate a crosshair design for this size hoop. I need a pes file for Brother Quattro. My other question is my hoop measures 9.5 x14????
Hi Judy
Great questions. I'm not personally familiar with the hoops for the Brother Quattro, but I can tell you that hoops usually do measure larger than the dimensions by which they are called. We usually call hoops by the size of the embroidery field, rather than by the size of the actual hoop, and most hoops have a non-embroiderable margin. So it makes sense to me that your hoop measuring 9.5x 14" would have an 8x12 sewing area.
I also wasn't able to find crosshairs at quite that size, so I suggest that you use the crosshair design is nearest in size to 8x12 (I think 6x10 is the largest one available), stitch one and then use a pen and a ruler to extend the lines so that they reach the appropriate spots on your hoop.
I only have an iPhone how can I download the crosshairs and save to a thumb drive so my daughter can print them out? I have a 7x12 magnates hoo
Hi Gladys,
Most of the ways to go from iPhone to USB at present involve purchase of an extra device to attach to your iPhone. Like this:
Another way would be to use the browser on your iPhone to go to the crosshairs and download them and then attach them to an email to your daughter. If she's able to get email attachments to her printer (it's likely) then you can bypass the USB altogether.
I downloaded the crosshairs but cannot seem to get it to save to my thumb drive, it doesn't appear when I put into my machine
Hi Marlene, usually that occurs when a file is too big, or wrong format, or the USB is too full, or has too much capacity.

Wondering why there is not a crosshair file for 5x7 pes - do I just use the 4x4 and extend? I bought a used hoop and the rulers are messed up.
