Open the 3D Embroidery and click on “preferences”and choose 100 X 170 Mid Size Hoop, grid size 5.

Click on the “Shapes”tab and choose and then choose Music 2. Choose the last design on the page which looks like a fancy bracket. Size will be 40. Click on “apply”.

Zoom in and place this bracket so that the right side of the outline box is right on the 4th grid line from the center. The tip of the design will be on the second grid line from the top of the hoop markings and the horizontal mirror point will be right on the 6th line. When you get the outline box right on the grid line, you will notice the grid lines will be whiter between the little dashes.

Click on “multiple”and place the second one under the first one being very careful to watch that the outline box is right on the same grid lines as the above design . The bottom of the outline box will be right on the center horizontal line.

Click on the design page and “combine”and copy and paste and paste the next two scallops under the top two. Combine and then copy and paste and mirror those 4 scallops. Place this second set so the left outline box is right on the center vertical line and zoom in to be careful to place the center horizontal right on the center horizontal line.
