Thanks for watching!
You are so cute to watch. I learned alot and loved listening and watching you!!!
Thank you so much.
Great idea especially with the solid magnetic hoops 😊
Thank you! I'm new to machine embroidery and having trouble with my magnetic hoops. The "double sided" blue tape worked perfectly! This suggestion made a world of difference in my hooping. I'm piecing a quilt in the hoop and this is a great solution. Thank you!
but can you use tape on a pfaff meta hoop that has that fuzzy stuff on it
Thank you. I am new to dime hoops. This is a game changer.
I like it, will try this next time
Thank you
That hooping allowed a big fold matk in the middle to remain after hooping. So, the fabric was not taught.
When you stood up, to shakr the hoop,, you could see how loose the stabilizer was.
I use the new Baby Lock magnetic hoops, with 8 magnets on them and the fabric stays where its placed
I'm sure Brither has them, too.
I had DIME magnetic hoops, and the only things they did for me was smash my fingers.
Why wouldn't you let the guy talk? Every tine he started to to talk or ask a question you started talking loudly to shut him up.
Me too! My experience with the Dime magnetic hoop is that it's a total waste of space - impossible to hoop accurately - and to use a load of blue-tape - you must be joking - the useless thing isn't fit for purpose. Dime hoops - don't go near them. I plan to buy the Brother versions from now on - several separate magnets (like the BL ones you mention as they're equivalent I think). Once I've recovered from the loss of money wasted on the Dime rubbish that is.....
I mean, a hoop that has to be stuck to the material with tape to be usable - are you serious??
my dime magnetic hoop doesn't hold most of what i want to quilt. i have been disappointed in the magnetic strength. i will try this!!
Well, revelation! Putting sticky-tape around the material stops it moving! I'd never have thought it!
Needing all the tape and general messing-about with the Dime magnetic frames surely suggests they're not particularly fit-for-purpose? I've been using a Dime magnetic 'monster snap' frame of the 4inch (100mm) size for about a week now and it's been a total pain to use.
As you go to put the top onto the frame it's pulled suddenly and quickly onto the metal lower-part. As a result the stabiliser and material are shifted, the alignment of top with bottom is almost impossible to achieve without trying to shift the edges to be level, all the while the positioning of the material is being messed-up and any hope of accurate placement is just a pipedream.
With the 'normal' frames (Brother V3 in my case) this isn't any hint of this problem - the top squeeze-in frame with material is easily placed into the lower frame without any material movement or that awful sudden and vicious ripping of the two out of your grasp by the magnetic attraction to the lower metal part of the Dime frame.
I've never regretted the purchase of a piece of embroidery equipment more - not only is the Dime frame hopeless it's very expensive to add insult to injury!
1st and ONLY time I will EVER buy a Dime magnetic frame/hoop.....
