had had more issues with folk and the magnets not holding and being disappointed....so....he suggested the Fast Frames system.

Here is a link to the place I got the frames. This one is thru Amazon, but the place is a great store to buy from.

Thanks for the information

Hi,
I use the magna hoop with magnets. For some fabrics it's very helpful not to hoop them, but for towels or other thick materials it's not a great help, it will not last. I need to fasten the fabrik with some stitches by hand.
I have quick snap hoop - is it that what you meen? It works with a metal snap on top with the plastic frame down , nearly with all fabrics and all thickness, very easy and quick to hoop, the hoop was not very expensive, but it's only one. I work with janome only. And they don't have really big hoops.I'm interested in some more information about "fast frame"

What is the difference between Magna hoops and Fast frames, I googled Fast frames but nothing found about fast frames.

I have Fast Frames and they work wonderfully on my PR-620! I wouldn't use anything else. I had a set of magna hoops and sold them on ebay for close to 400 bucks...

If you have any questions with the fast frames, PM me. :-) teri

Thanks. I will do some research on the Fast frames. *

Thanks for updating us on this issue.
