anybody know the rate of janome giga hoop and janome free arm hoop.how useful it is and where i can buy in india.dying to know.thanks

You do know that in order to split designs for the gigahoop you have to have Customizer or Digitizer Pro, the newest version? Which Janome do you have? I'm surprised machine embroidery is rare in South India, because I see so many lovely Salwar Kameez with beautiful neckline and body embroidery. Perhaps they are done commercially elsewhere? So good of you to join us, please join us more often!! Hugs, Marji

I use my giga hoop quite a lot but the little free arm is hardly used Only good for socks and baby outfits

i feel the free arm hoop would help me save a little on my backing,especially water soluble. what do u think, raels?

It could but it is very small,only about 2inch square

sufirani, WELCOME to the CUTE family - hope to see you around on a regular basis. I would do has Ruthie suggest - google it and check with the dealer that you bought your machine from. *4U

thanks shirlene, i visit cuties regularly,i read about all ur projects .love ur lace work. i'll continue with my quest for the hoops.do let me know if there is a good offer for the hoops. bye for now dear friend.

sukirani, welcome to 'Cute', so good to see you here.

You don't have to die to get answers here sweetie, we'll give you the information without you going to that extent, haha.

I have both the giga and the free arm hoops. I love both of them, and wonder how I managed without them in the first place. The best way to find a dealer and prices would be to google them, there would be dealers in India. Can the dealership where you bought your machine get them for you? Love and hugs for you sweetie, and have a terrific day.
