Hey everyone, I have a set of new hoops. Not really. I tossed all my hoops from my multi-needle machine into the deep sink to soak with dish washing liquid and vinegar. I haven't washed my hoops in 2 years so I expected it to be a real chore. I love to use 505 spray and pins rather than hoop fabric. Some of my hoops were coated with thread and fabric. To my surprise, it was easier than I thought it would be to have clean shiny hoops. And I have 2 full sets of hoops so that's a lot of hoops to clean. Now to do the 2 sets for my Babylock Elissimo combo machine. Yes, I did have to do some scrubbing, but less than I expected. And no chemicals needed. I hope this helps someone.
