I was just reading about some special hoops that allow you to emb on gloves, pants, pockets etc. without taking items apart. Has anyone used them yet?

Glad you located the post. Will go check it out. A flower for you.

Just checked out but I understand that it's used on multi needle machine So I can't use. Good luck hope you can use.

Took me forever to find my question. I was reading about it in an online mag. Tons of free designs and interesting info. Now I have to find out if it will work on my Janome.

I picked up the Magna Hoop for my ULT 2001 when I was in Orlando at the Ann The Gran Show in April..have just gotten the software as well...

I haven't tried but I have heard about sock-hoops. I think there are different types, but I found this adress: http://www.cookiescreations.com/s...

Janome has a small hoop but only does designs about 1 1/2 square and can be used in hard to get places

Wouldn't that be a neat hoop! I have a hat hoop, but haven't tried that yet. Flower for you!

Use the hat hoop all the time for caps, it works great... Mine is a Hoop-it-all...

When I was at the Atlanta Sew and quilt show earlier this year I saw a Brother professional embroidery machine that stood on a stand and had arm that extended at a right angle. It had a flip down metal clamp to hold items in place( no hoop). Can't remember how the stabilizers worked. It was around $7000. i remember thinking how great for caps.totes, etc. I was going to watch the demo, but the ladies I was with were more interested in the Quilting $30,000. or $40,000. Machine which none of us could afford. Does anyone have a Brother dealer near?

Think this may be the machine you were looking at Katy .. this is the machine that would take the Quick-Snap Hoops that I was talking about below...

Hi Celtic is it the Quick-Snap Hoops that you are referring to ? If so they are only good for the multi needle machines I think - Designs in Machine Embroidery sells them...may be something else you are referring to though...*4U

Same here, more info!

Mickey, help - where did you read this - I haven't heard of it. *4U

It sounds interesting. I have the cap hoop but I haven't use it yet. Flower and XoXo

I've just embroidered on the leg of a pair of jeans to cover a tear. This kind of hoop would have been ideal, as I had to first unpick a seam before I could get it into my hoop!! *4U

I'm with jrob Mickey, can you post a link to what you're reading. Sounds like something I'd like to see too! xoxo. BTW, it's supposed to be almost 100 degrees down here in San Diego tomorrow and Friday... sure you're missing SoCal??? ugh!!!

I remember someone posted a pair of socks embroidered with a special hoop. I have no special ones, only a very small one that does the job for breast pockets. Does it depend on the brand embroidery machine one has got. Good question, I like to see the answers, something to learn about. Flower for you.

i too would like to know more about this!

Where were you reading? Sounds interesting.;)
