Hoop fit
Hoop sizes are typical sewing fields. Check your machine's manual, as some hoops vary by model.
Run sheet
One printed page with what the person at the machine needs. Choose Save as PDF in the print window if you want a file.
This design is bigger than an A4 sheet, so the template will be cut off when printed.
Thread lengths are estimates: sewn path plus 0.5 mm per stitch through the cloth, with bobbin at a third of the top thread. Sewing time adds 30 seconds for each stop. Your machine and fabric will differ.
Your own logo and business name on the sheet are part of the £12 unlock, coming soon.

Why it doesn't upload anything
Your files are your stock
Paid designs and customer logos shouldn't sit on a stranger's server. Here the page does the work in your browser, and no file is ever sent anywhere.
Every conversion is checked
After writing a file, Hoopbench reads it back and compares it with the original, needle point by needle point. If they differ, it doesn't save the file.
Conversion isn't redesign
Stitches stay where the digitiser put them, and density and underlay don't change. Stitch a test piece before a run, as you would with any new file.
Only convert designs you own or have the right to use. A design you bought is usually licensed to you, and its licence may limit sharing the converted file.
