I traded in my D1 for the Viking Epic and picked up their largest hoop with it. Its 14 x 14 and I've run out of wall space so put screws into my ceiling joists to hang the largest hoops. Out of my way but close enough to grab them when I need them. Have them just above the machine. Put 2 screws for each hoop, set on each side of the joist so 2 hoops per joist. The smaller hoops are still on the pegboard but now I don't have to pull all of them off to get to the one that always seems to be the one in the back. Murphey's Law.

I made a hooping station with small bench from harbor freight and put command hooks on it to hang them

I have lots of them for my machines, I put a nail or hook in the wall to hang them on. Some are large enough that I can hang smaller ones inside of them. They also have templates for each size so I try to hang them together.

That's called good use of real estate, sometimes you have to be creative especially when you have lots of different things going on and I need to have my stuff where I can see them and get to them fast

Just bought myself a Brother Innovis 1500 yesterday (gently used) and as I was trying to find places for new supplies the hoops were my biggest issue, then this morning I stumbled across all your great tips. Thanks for sharing Everyone-now to find a manual for this machine, the lady I purchased it from can't find it.
