Default Hooping for machine embroidery on a quilt

I'm going to try this thread again as the first time I didn't mention that I was talking about machine embroidery not hand embroidery. Here is the original question:

"Looking for any helpful tricks and tips on hooping a quilt sandwich. I've been practicing on small pieces before I try working on a lap size waiting to be finished. Any thoughts or suggestions?"

Is there a trick to make sure the chosen design is quilted in the correct spot and how much of an area to you do at a time? I have the Bernina 830 which has a large embroidery field. Do you work blocks bit by bit?

Really new to this and looking for advice!!!
