I just determined that the 5x7 JTHoopitup does not work for a 3 month onesie. I must make a 1st Disney trip onesie now so I will open up the side seam. For future reference, shall I buy a 4x4 JTHoopitup? Will it work for small onsies?

Never heard of this, so had a look. She is demonstrating a 3-6 month size.
Gadget looks like the one I have seen used for socks, only bigger.
Not that I have used the sock one.
Good luck with it.
213I have done dozens of 3 mo. Onesies in a 4x4 hoop..Just Googled JTHoopitup and there is a video using the 5x7 size with a 3mo Onesie on Facebook....I have never used this hooping aid nor have I had to open up a side seam...I turn it inside out and use sticky stabilizer and pins...and always a wss topper when I embroider...and a ball needle...

I saw a video but it looked like a bigger onsie than mine. It simply wasn't big enough to pull up and around the gadget. I finished it in my hoop without any gadgets, I did it slow and just adjusted my opening by hand as it moved around,

Your video looks easy but maybe a different brand of onesie? I don't know why mine wouldn't fit.

I had not seen this gadget before...and yes, it looked like their Onesie might have been 3mos to 6mos...not just a 3 mos Onesie...do you plan to purchase the 4x4 one...do you think this gadget is worth the $$?

It's $24. I think it's worth it. I had a few close calls with my clips and my fingers while I was holding everything away from the stitching area. And I'm sure this isn't going to be my only grandchild!

No. I get the onesie and stabilizer in the 4 x 4 hoop the best I can. Then I roll and pin all the "other" fabric to "stitch in the hole." Tape would work better, but I'm cheap about material costs!
