Will this hoop fit the Janome MC500E or MC450E?
No. The JA839M version is designed specifically for the Janome MC550E. Choose the JA809M version for MC500E, MC450E or MC550E compatibility.
Can I use it with towels, denim or quilted material?
Yes. The repositionable magnets make the hoop especially useful for thick, textured or uneven projects. Always use the appropriate stabilizer and check machine clearance around bulky seams.
Does a magnetic hoop help prevent hoop marks?
Magnetic hooping avoids the concentrated ring pressure created by many traditional hoops, helping reduce hoop burn and compression marks. Results can vary depending on fabric type and stabilizer.
Can I embroider close to the edge of a towel or napkin?
Yes. Because the magnets can be positioned independently, the hoop can secure projects with limited fabric around the design area, including borders, hems and napkin edges.
Are strong magnets safe for everyone to handle?
The magnetic blocks are powerful. Keep fingers clear when placing them and keep the product away from children, magnetic storage media and sensitive electronics. People with pacemakers or other medical implants should consult their physician and avoid handling strong magnets directly.
How should I clean and store the hoop?
Remove lint and thread with a dry brush, compressed air or adhesive tape. Avoid liquid cleaners. Store the magnets carefully and keep their contact surfaces free from debris.
