But it takes me about an hour of !$%#! and pulling my hair out to center it in the hoop. It's too thick to fit the inner hoop on, so I'm using some sticky stabilizer to hold the square in place to the outer hoop - but that's under the quilt, so I'm having a horrible time trying to center to what I can't see!!! Any ideas?
When I embroidery a square, I do the embroidery then cut the square to fit the block that I am making. See picture.
