So, which embroidery product is right for you? We’ve put together this comparison to help guide you to the right solution.
Midwest Products, Inc. started in 1983 as a small home embroidery business called Midwest Embroidery. It quickly grew into a large embroidery company that did contract embroidery for companies like McDonalds, Coca-Cola, Briggs and Stratton, and even the Olympic Games. To keep the embroidery machines running, we needed to develop a quick and accurate way to hoop. That need led us to developing our own hooping device. It wasn’t until an embroidery machine dealer stopped in our shop and told us everyone could use a hooping station like ours, that the idea of patenting and manufacturing our hooping device began. When we researched and spoke with other embroiderers, it became very apparent that there was a serious need for a hooping system that really worked.
In 1998, the HoopMaster was patented, and began being manufactured under our new company name, Midwest Products, Inc. The HoopMaster was so well received within the embroidery community, that in 2004 we needed to expand Midwest Products, Inc. to a 17,000 square foot facility to keep up with demand. Since 1998, we have sold thousands of hooping devices to over 103 countries. Today, HoopMaster is the #1 selling commercial hooping system in the world.
Knowing the demand for more intuitive hooping aids, Midwest Products, Inc. recently invented, patented, and introduced the Mighty Hoop to the embroidery industry. Normal hoops weren’t made with the intention of hooping items like thick work wear, bags, horse blankets, leather, or delicate fabrics. The Mighty Hoop, a magnetic hoop, was designed to specifically address these issues, but also makes every day hooping easier. The feedback received from customers and machine manufacturers around the world, has been extraordinary. Mighty Hoops have taken the embroidery industry by storm.
Midwest Products, Inc. manufactures most parts for the HoopMaster and Mighty Hoop in house and employs approximately 50 employees. Although the company continues to grow and expand, we are proud that we remain a small, family-run operation and that our quality products are made and assembled in the USA!
It is our continued mission to invent and manufacture products to help people in embroidery become more efficient, accurate and profitable!
So glad you had the people with the vision to improve hooping. It has been a total game changer in the enjoyment of machine embroidery. I use to struggle so much with the hoops that came with the machines it took away some of the pleasure of embroidery. With the ease of your hoops I look forward to embroidery.
Thank you
I was so excited to read the information about you and how you became number one…. I am so impressed and I love your product. I’ve used other people when they’ve shown me their hoops… I’ve been in the aborgy business for 30 years. And have always looked at your products. But have never been able to purchase them…. But now that I am out on my own in my life. And making me my business number one I am thinking i need to purchase them.I think I’m gonna start saving up to see if I can’t. Get some of your hoops because I’m gonna start doing an Instagram channel to sell my products… Thank you so much for making it easier for us embroiders
I have the 5.5 hooping kit and absolutely love it – hooping is so much more enjoyable now. My question is whether or not you ship to Canada.
Hi Gail,
Thank you for your message. We don’t normally ship directly to Canada as we have resellers that handle our products there. Please email us at info@hoopmaster.com and we can send you the best company to contact.
What a great product. I wish I would have found it sooner. The HoopMaster and Mighty Hoop have made hooping difficult and delicate products so much easier. It also works great on all normal items as well.
