I have it, and it does hold the fabric, my problem is i bought mine too soon, the new magna Hoop really is 5x7 area, mine it is not, the inner frame takes a lot of space from the embroidery area, i was very disappointed becuase before i bought it i ask the sale person and she said it was a 5x7 area, it WAS NOt, so if you decided to buy it make sure is the new model.

I , like Mary51 , have the one that "says" it is for the 5x7. The frame fits inside the 5x7 area and the actual sew out is much smaller . And yes, it is good to do ribbon and cuffs and stuff in. It does hold pretty good.

We have had several discussions about this hoop. I find it interesting to go back and see what has been said along the way. Perhaps you will, too.;)

Interesting subject thanks.Not too many seem satisfied with it.???

I have one brand new and offering it cheap to who ever wants it. I don't like it and want to get rid of it. Suzanne

I have one and I was very disappointed with it. I now wish I had not purchased it but the price was high even though I did find it on sale. *
