Help plz:Continuous border hoop versus magnetic hoop?
I would like to embroider a border on a 42" square tablecloth. I am new to embroidery last year; I bought a used Brother Dream Machine. Brother makes a 4x7 "border hoop" that has clasps that are reportedly easy to use for doing border designs. On the other hand, it looks like the magnetic hoops might be just as easy (more easy?) and more versatile. If I get a 9.5x14 size could cut down the number of hoops for doing border pieces and allow me to do other big hooping with more ease.
Is there something about the Brother border hoop that makes it more advantageous?
Either choice, the border hoop or the big magnetic hoop, pretty expensive. Any advice on which one I should choose?
