So now I am in search of an SQ hoop for a Janome 11000se. A new hoop costs $100 at the dealer's shop. Does anyone have one they want to sell? I am feeling so sorry for myself! Boo hoo!
Check with your dealer, you should be able to purchase the screws and nuts separately. Much cheaper than purchasing new hoops.
