FAQs
Does the size in the product title refer to the dimensions or the actual embroidery field?
The 6.5″ × 6.5″ (165 × 165 mm) size indicates the inner hoop dimension, not the exact stitch area. The actual sewing field is approximately 5.7″ × 5.7″ (145 × 145 mm). When using this magnetic hoop for Melco or Bernina embroidery machines, always leave a small margin of about 0.3″ (7–8 mm) around the edges for the best stitching results and to avoid needle strikes.
Does this magnetic hoop allow embroidery on difficult items like zippered bags or heavy jackets?
Yes. The Sewtalent magnetic hoop uses strong, evenly distributed magnetic force that securely holds complex materials such as leather bags, jacket backs, or thick sweatshirts. It eliminates fabric shifting and reduces marking on delicate textiles, making embroidery on hard-to-hoop items faster and more reliable on Melco EMT16X or Bernina E16 machines.
How can I confirm if this hoop's brackets will fit my machine’s arm spacing?
Before purchasing, measure the arm spacing of your Melco or Bernina embroidery machine or refer to your user manual. Compare the measurement with the specifications on the product detail page. If the spacing matches the listed values, the hoop will fit. When uncertain, contact our support team with your model name (e.g., Melco Bravo, Amaya XTS, or Bernina E16 Pro) for quick compatibility guidance.
Are there any cases where a traditional screw hoop is better than a magnetic hoop?
While magnetic hoops work efficiently for most projects, a traditional screw hoop may perform better on extremely thick or rigid items like boot tongues or heavy canvas. For standard garments, hoodies, and bags, the magnetic hoop provides superior speed, stability, and fabric protection, making it a preferred solution for industrial embroidery machines such as Melco EMT16X or Bernina E16.
How much hooping time can I save using this magnetic embroidery hoop?
Users of Sewtalent magnetic hoops for Melco Bravo and Bernina E16 report hooping efficiency gains of up to 70–80% compared to traditional hoops. Hooping that normally takes minutes can now be done in seconds. This faster setup significantly boosts production speed and consistency, especially for businesses handling high-volume embroidery tasks.
Does purchasing this magnetic hoop include all the hardware and brackets?
Yes. Each Sewtalent magnetic hoop package includes the main hoop, a matched pair of metal brackets, screws, and a screwdriver. The brackets are preselected to fit your chosen embroidery machine model, such as Melco EMT16 or Bernina E16 series. Once assembled, the hoop is ready to install and use for immediate embroidery production.
How should I maintain and clean my magnetic hoop for long-term performance?
Keep the magnetic surfaces free from metal debris, dust, and thread residues after each use. Wipe lightly with a soft, dry cloth—avoid harsh solvents or water immersion. Proper maintenance ensures consistent magnetic force and precise alignment, extending the hoop’s life and preserving stitching quality on both Melco and Bernina embroidery machines.
