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! Louise I want to try the hoop grip next. I did not see it at Joann's or Walmart. Only to stores here. Will look online. thanks! |

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 |
Lucky ladies......!!! Have fun and plenty if good luck on the wonderful future projects to all of you

I use strips of rubber shelf liner held in place with double sided tape on my large hoops.

My way is a no go yet again. I tell ya, that large hoop has a 4 inch spot in the middle that just messes up.

thank you Quilty-Louise I will be looking on line for the hoop grip, and headed to the store for the shelf liner.
Where I live we are big enough for a Walmart, but have a what we call a shoe box Joann's (small). I thank you for your help. I plan on trying again today. I have 2 friends with cancer and one with new grandbaby. To make blankets to give them. I say blankets because I like the simple thick batting, cotton fabric on one side and flannel on the other, then tacking. They wash and wear so well. Friends here love them I pick their theme. One will be beach, crosses and bible verse,and baby race cars. Simple, comfortable, washable. My grandkids started his with what they call - cool side & warm side. thanks again. |

I've used blue masking tape to hold the fabric tight on top of the hoop and fabric. Then I found out Viking makes these little clips that fit over the hoops (especially the larger ones) and the clips hold it tightly together so slipping of the fabric.

if you can't find them how about those black clips used to hold heavy stacks of paper together. they can be found at most stores |
I have a brand new Baby Lock Journey that has some of the most gorgeous designs. I have not used it yet for the embroidery since the classes aren't until end of this month and into April. I can't wait to do it. It also has over 250 decorative stitches; some come out so heavy they almost look like embroidery. Can't wait.
