Description

Magnetic Hoop & Frame System

Choose your hoop size, then choose the correct arm size for your machine.

Make hooping faster, cleaner, and more consistent: especially on thick, slippery, or awkward garments. The magnetic clamping action gives even tension with far less effort, so you get crisp embroidery with less re-hooping and zero hoop burn.

How it works

  • Step 1 – Pick your hoop size: Select the sewing field that suits your jobs (small logos → compact hoops; hoodies/jackets → larger hoops).

  • Step 2 – Pick your arm size: This is the machine-mount spacing so the frame fits your model.

Arm size → machine fit

  • 355 mmRicoma Multi-head

  • 395 mmRicoma 1-Head, SWF UH

  • 495 mmSWF UK, SWF T-Series, SWF Compact

What’s included

  • 1 × Magnetic embroidery frame (your chosen hoop size)

  • 2 × Arms (your chosen arm size) to mount the frame to your machine

Why embroiderers switch to magnetic hoops

  • Faster setup: Hoop in seconds; big time-saver on volume runs.

  • Even tension: Cleaner outlines, fewer thread breaks.

  • Gentle on garments: No pressure marks/hoop burn on sensitive fabrics.

  • Great on bulky items: Hoodies, coats, workwear, quilted jackets, bags.

  • Less strain: Minimal force needed compared to standard clamp/rail hoops.

Choosing your hoop size (quick guide)

  • Small – left-chest logos, caps (flat), sleeves, childrenswear.

  • Medium – standard left/right chest, polos, sweatshirts.

  • Large/XL – hoodies, jackets, appliqué, larger back designs.

Compatibility & notes

  • Designed for the listed Ricoma and SWF models/series (see arm size table).

  • Use with appropriate stabiliser/backing for fabric and design density.

  • Powerful magnets—keep clear of credit cards, pacemakers, and sensitive electronics.

  • Avoid snapping the magnets together; bring pieces together slowly to protect surfaces.

Troubleshooting & support

If the hoop doesn’t seat square, double-check the arm size matches your machine series and that both arms are fitted in the same orientation. Still stuck? Call our team—we’ll get you sorted quickly.
