Visual Versus Mathematical Design Placement

This video explains the difference between visually and mathematically centering designs, and demonstrates how the Center Meters makes it easy to see and mark – both visually and mathematically at the same time – without guesswork.

CENTER METERS® is the only centering tool on the market with a patented design that holds the centering sticker AND a printed copy of the design you want to embroider at the same time — while still allowing you to see where it will sew on your project — and accurately mark it all at once without guesswork or math.

Questions

A. Center Meters is the only guide that secures a positioning sticker in place, as well as a printed copy of your design. It is the only guide that allows you to experiment with the placement options as well as accurately center, and measure distances to design elements such as hems, necklines, and prints, and precisely place the positioning sticker in place on your projects without guesswork or math. Even in circles!

A. Yes. If you know your design size, the frame sizes and edge rulers printed on the Center Meters makes it easy to mark the technical center of your projects. Free blank paper templates with cross hairs in various shapes and sizes are also available to
download and print here.

 

Though helpful in visualizing how your design will appear, a copy of your actual design will always be more exacting a representation;
especially with asymmetrical designs. For this reason, printed copies of actual designs are recommended for best results (To watch a video that explains the difference between technical and visual placement of both symmetrical and asymmetrical designs, click here).

 

There are also embroidery software brands that offer free downloadable programs that will allow printing of your designs with placement cross hairs like the one here. (Center Meters is not affiliated with any software companies.)

A. Yes. As long as the stickers remain flat and tacky they can be reused.

A. Yes. If the positioning stickers are one inch square and have centering points or lines that will align with the crosshairs, it can be used in place of the positioning stickers included with the Center Meters.
A. Yes! The versatile, multi-functional tool can be used to accurately center and place vinyl and HTV designs on everything from canvas bags and drink containers, free standing appliqués, patches, and paper crafts, to bag hardware. It can be used almost anywhere you need to find and accurately mark the placement of design details. You can even mark the placement of designs on a garment while it is being worn, to ensure appropriate placement on any body type. It can also be used to determine the right size design to fit on your projects saving design preparation time, and more!

A. No. The innovative design of the Center Meters is intentionally made thin with some flexibility to hold the centering sticker and printed paper images in position with minimal distortion to achieve the most accurate placement. The guide can be cut by crafting scissors, rotary cutters, etc., and should not
be used as a cutting edge.

A. Cameras are nice for visual verification of design placement, but can not accurately measure distances to design details especially outside of the projection range, or to seams, hemlines, and details on projects areas outside of the hoop. It is always best to know exactly where you want your design to stitch before hooping to avoid misalignment. All machines, even with cameras determine where to stitch based on the center point of the design. Your results will be the most precise by ensuring the needle is aligned with the center of the design before beginning, not a projection. With Center Meters you can be certain the center of your design is both precisely placed mathematically and visually exactly where you prefer, making it easier and quicker to set up and get started stitching at the machine. Less time guessing where to place a design at the machine means more time stitching out designs, especially when making multiples.

Perfect Placement will always elevate and preserve the overall finish of your projects, while poor placement will always detract from it. With Center Meters, you can reduce the time it takes to confidently place designs with precise professional looking results, with or without a camera.
