5. Position your template(s) on the exact place(s) where you want designs to be embroidered. If designs should be very close to each other (like in our example), and paper templates are disturbing you to see the spot where they should meet - fold templates that belong to designs you plan to stitch last. In our example we want to do the middle part first and the sides later. Here is how this step looks in our case:

Be careful to position the templates EXACTLY in place where you want the design to be. If it's a ready garment - you may even want to wear it on the owner of it and then decide on correct place for the design. Because "the right" position might be different for each person due to his/her unique body shape.
6. Mark the fabric with disappearing ink pen exactly on each template's middle (those lines are usually printed in bold), on each side. A total of 4 ink dots per paper template.
7. Pin one template to fabric according to your marks, and hoop the fabric, making sure the template exactly resembles your hoop's embroidery area (if the marks on your fabric meet similar center marks drawn on your hoop, everything is ok). In case your project requires hoopless embroidery - just stick the fabric to hooped backing and then use the same rules.
