Mighty hoop or Magic hoops, what ever they are called.
What do we need to know?
What should we purchase? Trying to decipher all available parts and not sure what we need. Can somebody help?
thanx,
pierre

We just had a 4 head zsk racer installed about a month ago. We went ahead and had them replace the regular hoops with the mighty hoops. Mighty hoops are worth there weight in gold. Just don't let them snap together with your fingers in the way.
Also, we ordered the Gen2 cap hoops.. They are super nice too.

Funny that I see this post, I was just looking for some magnetic hoops, I agree I would go with those (magnetics) because you can hoop a lot of hard to hoop items
-
We have a lot of the 5.5 Mighty Hoops, they are great. We have a couple of the fixtures from HoopMaster as well for them, I would look into that too!

Hey Robert,
do the fixtures work with other sizes or are they specific that one?
Also, is 4.5 a good size to get?
what should we getting; what sizes?

You can buy various arms for differing machines. We use this size for logos 3.70 and smaller 90% of what we do. I feel these are absolute essentials, kind of like DTS you do not know how valuable they are until you use them.

We have a set of 5.5 inch Mighty Hoops for our Barudan that we use on hard to hoop items. However, for polos and other easy to hoop items I find the standard hoops are faster.

OK,
Somebody please tell me what we should be getting!

Crest size hoops - 5.5" - 2 full sets, one on the machine, one hooped and ready to go.
Jacket back hoops - same
Sleeves - same.
size of hoop will be dependent on your sewing field. What machine did you get, I'm too lazy to look right now. ;D

Ha, ha!
Tajima 6 head, standard field with their new automatic tensioning. Called EZ something. They had in stock and its on the way already.

perfect, order 2 sets (12) of 5.5" for crest size designs, then go from there. Be prepared to drop some coin but they are worth every penny. Hoop burn is for rookies.

type in your sewing field so they can send the proper bracket.
PRO TIP: red Loctite on the nuts when you put them together, vibrations will cause them to back off.

We have a full set of the 5.5 & 4.5. We use the smaller ones for sleeves and such. It's a good starting point.
We didn't get the jacket backs. I can't tell you the last time I used our regular ones. It's not something we sew a lot of. You can always add them if needed, or get a single set of them to start. For us, those would be a waste of money. I might buy one for the single head.

The 4.5 is the one we use 90% of the time, the 5.5 are too large for many backpack applications and sleeve/shoulders. @ sets are a must. You do have to handle with care as to not bend the metal arms.
@Mk great tip, crazzy how often I find a loosened nut on arms.

We have tajimas.. I could only afford 1 set of the 5.5's. Our Double head Tajima is the only one we can do jacket backs on, so we have 2 large ones, I do not remember the sizes.
Polos and dry fits we still use the normal hoops with the system, but everything else the magnetic.
When I get some cash ill buy another set.
Soooo worth it
-
We have a full set of 5.5 for all our machines. That covers the bulk of what we do. After using them, I'd pay double for them.
We have 4 11x13's for our 2-head. We don't do a lot of large backs.
No more hoop burn. No more sore palms. And hooping is a little quicker to do.

I get tennis elbow from hooping with regular hoops and have to wear a brace. None of that with the magnetic hoops.

Pierre,
If you’re still looking into this stuff give me a call/email and I can walk you through all our magnetic setups. We’ve taken two people who never hooped a garment in their lives and are now pros because of these systems. They’re just so worth it.

Pierre, i figure this is worth a follow-up. Did you end up getting the magnetic hoops? If so what are your thoughts?
