How do you use the Plus Hoop on a Husqvarna Viking "Rose" Sewing Machine?

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 have a Designer 1 large hoop i could trade to someone for hoop to fit the Rose if anyone interested.

I have viking Rose and I am trying to use the Giant Hoop It All for the Rose. I have the embroidery hoop symbol with backward E flashing. What does this mean?
I also get the hoop flashing with backwards L flashing. What does this mean?

You would only use the Plus Hoop if you are going to embroider a larger design than the 4"x4" hoop can handle. The Plus Hoop designs are digitized specially for that hoop, and come in two parts. You sew out part 1 then move the hoop to position No.2 and sew out part No.2.

I used to own a Rose, but not the Plus Hoop so my knowledge is just what I have read. Have you tried searching the Husqvarna website? I don't know whereabouts you live, but go to the USA website - there is a lot more useful information there than on either the Global or Australian websites, which is where I live. If you own any Husqvarna embroidery software, there would be instructions in the manuals that come with this.
