Abstract

A device for positioning and fixing a clamping frame onto an object to be embroidered or printed, or for positioning the object to be embroidered or printed and arranged on a holder relative to the embroidering or printing motif. The device may include at least one projection means, e.g., a data projector, projector or augmented reality glasses, which projects onto the object at least one projection object stored in a data processing device, or else displays this in the augmented reality glasses. The data processing device may also include a memory in which is stored or will be stored after positioning has taken place: the type, size and/or shape of the object to be embroidered or printed, the motif to be embroidered or printed, and the position at which the motif is to be embroidered or printed on the object.
