Magnetic Embroidery Hoops 6.5" | 165x165mm for Melco Embroidery Machines

When embroidering items with a lining, like a bag, can this frame hold through multiple layers of fabric?

Yes. The Sewtalent magnetic embroidery hoop is engineered with powerful and evenly distributed magnets that firmly grip multiple layers, including fabric, lining, and stabilizer. This ensures materials stay securely in place throughout stitching on Melco or Bernina embroidery machines, preventing fabric shifting and maintaining precise embroidery alignment.

When using this magnetic frame, should the stabilizer be placed inside the frame or floated outside of it?

You can choose either method based on the project. For most garments, the best result comes from sandwiching the stabilizer with fabric inside the hoop. However, for difficult materials such as bulky bags or thick hoodies, many users of embroidery machine hoops prefer floating the stabilizer beneath the bottom frame for easier positioning.

Is the fabric tension provided by this magnetic frame more even than traditional hoops? How does this benefit embroidery quality?

Yes. The continuous magnetic force of the Sewtalent embroidery hoop magnetic system creates uniform fabric tension across the entire sewing field. This minimizes puckering and distortion even on stretchy or layered fabrics, resulting in cleaner outlines and sharper stitches on Melco Bravo or Bernina E16 embroidery machines.

Will my embroidery machine automatically recognize this frame's size, or do I need to set it manually?

Like most third-party embroidery hoops magnetic accessories, you’ll need to set the size manually in your Melco or Bernina machine’s software. Enter the hoop’s inner dimension of 6.5″ × 6.5″ (165 × 165 mm) and double-check that your design fits within the actual sewing field of 5.7″ × 5.7″ (145 × 145 mm) to ensure accurate stitching boundaries.
