Where were you reading? Sounds interesting.;)

i too would like to know more about this!

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'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'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

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

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

Same here, more info!

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

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?

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

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

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/sockeasy.html

Sounds great can you post a link ? Fyi I just got a magna hoop can't wait to try it out . Have a friend that has one and she loves it. A flower for you.

mickey I'm wondering if this isn't the magna hoop I was asking about a week or so ago. You're suppose to b able to do all kinds of things with it but I've not seen it demonstrated *4U

Here is the link to Magna hoop, there are videos you can view from the website. hugs n roses, M

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.

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