I am trying to figure out the difference between the Snap-Hoop and the Magna-Hoop. Does anyone know or have experience with either one of these.
Thanks, Vicki |
I found this info. difference between the full version of PE-Design 7.0 and the newer, less expensive PE-Design Lite. So without further ado, here is a break down of the differences between the two of them:
GENERAL FEATURES Hoop Sizes: PE-Design Lite: supports 2 hoop sizes, the 100mm x 100mm (4″ x 4″) and the 130mm x 180mm (5″ x 7″) PE-Design Ver. 7: supports up to 5 hoops as large as 300mm x 200mm (11.75″ x 7.75″) File Importing: PE-Design Lite: Yes PE-Design Ver 7: Yes File Exporting: PE-Design Lite: NO PE-Design Ver 7: Yes Included Applications: PE-Design Lite: 1 PE-Design Ver. 7: 5 FONT FUNCTIONS Built-in Fonts: PE-Design Lite: 35 PE-Design Ver. 7: 35 True Type Fonts, Monograms, & Small Font: PE-Design Lite: NO PE-Design Ver. 7: Yes Text Arrangement: PE-Design Lite: Follows the curve PE-Design Ver. 7: Follows the shape of any line Text Transformation: PE-Design Lite: NO PE-Design Ver. 7: Yes Custom Font Pattern Creation: PE-Design Lite: NO PE-Design Ver. 7: Yes with included font creator IMAGE CONVERSION Auto Punch: PE-Design Lite: Yes PE-Design Ver. 7: Yes Photo Stitch: PE-Design Lite: NO PE-Design Ver. 7: Yes Cross Stitch: PE-Design Lite: NO PE-Design Ver. 7: Yes SEWING ATTRIBUTES Region Sew Type: PE-Design Lite: 2 PE-Design Ver. 7: 10 Line Sew Type: PE-Design Lite: 0 PE-Design Ver. 7: 5 Gradation & Color Blending: PE-Design Lite: NO PE-Design Ver. 7: Yes DRAWING SHAPES Line, Rectangle, Circle, Heart, Star, etc: PE-Design Lite: NO PE-Design Ver. 7: Yes Manual Punch Digitizing: PE-Design Lite: NO PE-Design Ver. 7: Yes EDITING Point Editing: PE-Design Lite: NO PE-Design Ver. 7: Yes Stitch Pattern Editing: PE-Design Lite: NO PE-Design Ver. 7: Yes So hopefully if you made it to this point (we commend you) you now have a better understanding of the differences between the two PE-Design programs. We do actually carry both of them in stock, but to purchase them you will need to call us toll free at 1-866-739-2568. Authorized Brother dealers are unable to post prices for these products, but we guarantee it will be worth your time |
I'm new to embroidery, but how does all your info tell the difference between two hoops? Are they programs you have to use with a hoop?

When I did some searching on Snap Hoop, it looks like it is made by the same company as Magna Hoop. They are somewhat similar to each other in that they both use magnets to hold the fabric, but from what I can tell, it looks like the snap hoop will leave your fabric FLAT, where as the Magna hoop still requires the fabric to go over the outer hoop, so you have some distortion in your fabric.
