Hi girls, this is what is known as "hoop-it-all" Just cuts down the amount of hooping you need to do larger projects. This is set up on my Brother 3100 D and as you can see it takes up a lot of room. So nothing else can be done while this is going on. But the results are worth it. The machine extends from the centre and you place your machine on a plate- giving you the longer area needed for the hoop to move this even has an extention for the electrical equipment so your machine can sew.

Interesting. I can do 5x7 on my Esante. Guess I just don't understand why you couldn't just use a 5x7 frame.

Is this something new? I have a mega hoop, but not the same thing, maybe the same thing as endless embroidery that Bernina has on the new 830.

It's been out here in Aussie land for about 18 months to 2 years. I "googled" and found that it is now is the "States" if you live there. Great If you are clever and can split your designs. For the larger Projects and then you halve the hooping. Flower for you ( Just learnt how to give Flowers ) So watch out

I just got an E-mail from Embroidery Designs.com advertising the All in one Hoop. Reg $775. on sale for $675. A hundred off price. This is too pricey for me. It also listed machines it could be used for and mine is not on list.

Sorry Katy, I bought mine a while ago and I din't pay anything like that. My shop of which I'm a member runs specials on club day and I think that what I paid for it was a really super special. Plus I think that it was "new" in our world.

OK Rossi, this might sound dumb - what does it actually do - if you can only use your 5x7 frame - what is the purpose? Are you saying that the 5x7 frame moves to different spots - because of this? My head will just not wrap around this for some reason. Hehehe!

I'm with you girl ... don't get it (no surprise there ..huh?!!-LOL). I really need a video for this one. If it works for you, that's great and it is a very interesting looking hoop it all and very large. Maybe she can give a demo on YouTube - LOL - why not, everybody else does their thing on there.

shirlener88 by shirlener88 07 Aug 2008

well - if there is a youtube - it can be used on this site in the community section, too! Hehehe

coco128 by coco128 07 Aug 2008

yeah, why not, we'll call it "CuteTube" LOL

nO YOU DON'T USE YOUR 5X7 FRAME. There is a frame that goes on the embroidery arm . You use stickt stabiliser run a line down the centre. AND that is the line that the sewing finishes at. Then you rotate the LARGE frame and do the same embroidery in reverse. I know I don't have the words to explain fully (I get a bit tongue tied) You need to print out the template of your design and use that to mark out on the sticky stabiliser. You don't need the 5 x7 hoop. The large hoop does the work. I hope that this will explain it a bit simpler . the size of the Large hoop is 13 x 21 inches (Whopper) you get 4 times the embroidery. So when you sew you move the hoop by unscrewing (the side of the hoop has wing nuts) and move the hoop up to the next needle postion . Interesting isn't it. I had to have a lesson on it beofre I could use too (Dumb me) I think that if you Google and Find hoop-it-all they may be able to explain it in simpler terms.

OHHH...I think I actually get it now. I would love to see it in action, so I'm going to ask my sewing place. thanks for the lengthy info. I'm one of those "hands on" people, not always good at reading and implementing, but show me and I'll get it-LOL. *4u

shirlener88 by shirlener88 07 Aug 2008

Oh my Rossie, I get it now - I was only seeing the 5x7 hoop and couldn't figure out what this other thing was or for - Hehehe! Thank you for explaining it. I would enjoy this - if I were doing lots of borders on curtains and hems of skirt or sheets. Thank you so much!

Still only 5x7 (embroidery field) but you only need to hoop once (or twice depending on the embroidery you choose.

Looks very complicated. What size can you embroider with 'hoop-it-all'? *4u for sharing.

Still only 5x7 . ( I think) it's been a while since I worked with it. But you do one side and then reverse the frame and do the other, Santi's Peacock is a good one to do. One hooping (4 splits)
