Frequently Asked Questions
Q: For TMEZ/TMEZ-SC1501 chest runs, how much real cycle-time gain from magnetic hoops + a hoop station?
A: The win is faster hooping and fewer rehoops; lock size-specific stops/templates and time a 10-piece pilot—gains vary by setup.
Q: Can Tajima SAI magnetic hoops swap with TMBP-S1501C?
A: No—mount/ metal bracket geometry differs. Choose Tajima hoops by exact model.
Q: Mixing legacy hoops and new magnetic hoops on multi-head—will alignment drift?
A: Yes. Standardize hoop length + brackets and station stops; sample on one head, clone settings to the rest.
Q: How to clamp pockets/zippers/seams securely (vs pocket frame / fast frames for Tajima)?
A: Start with a long-rectangle magnetic hoop; switch to a pocket frame/fast frame for obstacles; add anti-slip and dry-run.
Q: For extra-long verticals, Tajima border frame or magnetic hoop?
A: Use a border frame for continuous/very long runs; a tall, narrow magnetic hoop covers typical garment stripes in one pass.
Q: Caps: magnetic hoop vs Tajima cap frame/hat hoop?
A: Use magnetic hoops for flats/beanies; structured fronts need the cap frame; side/back panels: magnetic hoop + hoop station.
Q: After switching to magnetic hoops, do I need to retune origin/offset in Tajima DG16?
A: Yes—update hooping presets and save a template; dry-run on the machine to verify margins.
Q: Any issues using magnetic hoops with 3D puff, plush, stretch fabrics?
A: Works fine—use firm stabilizers, slower speed, a topper (WSS/anti-slip), and check foot/needle clearance.
