Understanding your options for hat embroidery and knowing when the usual rules need to change. - Resizing from Small to BIG — Why It Isn't So Easy as That

Techniques for creating large jacket-back designs while working within the limitations of your embroidery hoop. - Patches — Two Techniques

This final set is about putting your digitizing knowledge together, thinking through the project before you digitize, and learning how to choose the technique that gets you the result you want.
