I have magna hoop. Janome machine, 5x7 size. It works great especially with towels, sweatshirts, but it does take a little extra space off your design area. Another good trick if you don't already do is before you do you design do a BASTING STITCH it really helps hold items in place especially if you have to change threads or remove from machine. I bought my on EBAY, good thing to check around before buying, gotta save your money for thread and more designs. good luck

If you are talking about the magnetic one??? I bought it and have only used it a time or two...not so thrilled. Thought it would do quilt sandwich ans advertised, magnets aren't strong enough for that as the weight of the quilt pulls the whole thing apart. Also was very difficult to rethread for color changes without knocking it out of alignment...might be good for 1 color items (RW or FSL) but I was disappointed. I would love to use it, as I have arthritis and it would really save me, but I use the blue tape method and have been thrilled with how that helps. Just MHO, Linda
