Embroidery ideas for your PR embroidery machine

Working with positioning 

Business shirts are a core line for many embroidery services, and confident positioning is key to producing consistent results. When positioned near pockets, plackets or buttons, even a small misalignment can stand out on a finished shirt.

 

Depending on your machine, use the camera to check the alignment or the 2-Point Positioning feature which can correct any crookedness in your hooping. Simply select two reference points on the shirt, the machine will automatically rotate and adjust the design to match, even if your shirt was not hooped perfectly straight, protecting you from costly mistakes.
