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

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!
