I have a Singer, different model...but with my machine I can move the design ...the hoop stays where it is so that once you lock it in, you can (for instance), stop the machine to change the bobbin, and when you put it back on, it's exactly where you left off.
You can either drag a square around your entire design and then move it that way, or you can copy and paste it where you want it. It will be much easier for you if you have your grid marks checked "on" in the options. The hoop itself has center arrows on all four sides, so when you are lining it up on your screen, if you have the grid marks on, you can easily see in 1" increments where it needs to go.

Welcome to the Board from OZ. I don't know about this machine, but after watching a video it seems all the embroidery is organized from the pc or laptop, and you don't have a screen or buttons to adjust on the machine?

Most designs have the needle set in the center, so sometimes I will remove the fabric from the frame (don't take the frame off the machine) and readjust the fabric so the needle will be above the spot where I want the center of the design to be, even put the needle down in the fabric, then set the fabric back into the hoop. Don't pull too hard and break the needle though.

I also have Brother machines, and love them.

Just visited http://www.threadsnscissors.com/ yesterday and found a few designs I want to try. Nearly every design set is $1.25, and that is not a typo, lol. She has hundreds of designs and the site is not extremely user friendly but I did find that the search feature helped. Just wanted to share this, no affiliation at all.
