This is my first sample, there will be some changes with the next
few until I figure out the exact look I want.

I have been working on my large hoop (7x12) which does not like me I am sure . I can do all other hoops which are smaller. Each time I get to the middle of the hoop my fabric starts to pull and then jam. I think the middle
of the hoop just does not have a good hold on the fabric. After to many tries, went to All Brands and they told me to
wrap elastic ( like the kind you do for a hurt ankle) around the part that is not keeping the fabric in place. Not much
just a little will hold the fabric on the frame. Will try tomorrow, has anyone tried this, or maybe another idea. thanks!

There is a product that I have been using for many years.
It's called "hoop grip" and I honestly swear by this.

Yes....I hear that the larger hoops can cause problems especially on some machines....
I would like to know which machine you are using the larger ( 7 x 12 " ) hoop.....I am very tempted to buy the bigger hoop but unless I hear from another quilter that it works well with the Janome 350 ,I rather wait...they are expensive and I don,t want to get frustrated...life is complicated as it is.....good luck
