Using Magnetic Machine Embroidery Hoops Like a Pro

My entry-level embroidery machine finally has compatible magnetic embroidery hoops, and I love the new possibilities.

For instance, I can use my embroidery machine to easily finish quilts without hooping or using stabilizer. I can also work with delicate fabrics like leather or vinyl without worrying about hoop marks.

Even projects that used to be challenging to adhere outside the hoop have become effortless to embroider, and I am so thrilled.

Cons & Troubleshooting

Now, while I’m fascinated with my magnetic hoop, I’ve found not all projects lend themselves well to it.

2. Another limitation is for smaller throat machines. Even though a magnetic hoop makes quilting more accessible, it is still difficult to keep excess fabric from the work area. There’s only so much space to roll the excess quilt inside a smaller throat space and not be in the middle of the hoop.

3. After adding embroidery to quilt sandwich corners, I also learned making my backing and batting much larger than the quilt on the sides makes it easier to use a magnetic hoop. Otherwise, the quilt corner just flops in the middle of the hoop unless I use stabilizer to hold it.

4. Always preview your design and ensure the needle will not hit the magnetic hoop at any part during the embroidery process. My Luminaire oddly enough doesn’t always register the right size Snap Hoop.

6. Don’t forget to check with your doctor before use if you have a pacemaker or use other devices affected by magnets. There are all sorts of scary warnings on my Brother Sash Frame!

7. Lastly, these hoops are pricey! That’s the main reason I only purchased a few. Costs add up fast if you want magnetic hoops in multiple sizes.
