General

If you own a Brother or Baby Lock tubular embroidery machine—whether it’s a tubular single needle, 6-needle, or 10-needle—you already know how critical proper hooping is for clean, professional embroidery results. Traditional hoops often create challenges when working with thick, bulky, or hard-to-hoop items. That’s where Magnetic Mighty Hoops come in.

At Midwest Products, Inc. we specialize in helping you hoop smarter, not harder—with tools that protect your machine, increase efficiency, and open the door to embroidering more products with confidence.

Why Choose Magnetic Mighty Hoops?

Mighty Hoops patented design includes powerful embedded magnets that securely hold your fabric without the need to adjust tension knobs or clamp down with force. Here’s why they’re better than traditional hoops:

• Effortless Hooping: Simply lay your garment and snap the hoop in place—no tugging or stretching fabric.
• Time-Saving: Hoop faster with consistent results, which increases productivity in home or business setups.
• Versatility: Easily hoop thick items like jackets, bags, leather, and sweatshirts.
• Reduces Operator Fatigue: No more fighting with tight hoops or sore wrists from over-clamping.

Will Magnetic Hoops Mess Up My Machine?

We hear this question a lot—and the answer is no.

Mighty Hoops are safe to use with your Brother and Baby Lock machines. They’re specifically designed and tested for compatibility with common tubular embroidery machine brands.

In fact, many Brother and Baby Lock machine suppliers sell them, and they’re used in commercial embroidery shops and home embroidery businesses throughout the world. Mighty Hoops have become the go-to standard for many.

The Tubular Support: Protects Your Machine’s Arms

When embroidering heavy garments or thick items, one worry is the excess weight of the garment or item pulling down on the machine’s arms. Over time, this strain can cause wear on your machine.

That’s why we highly recommend the Tubular Hoop Support, a tool designed to slide onto the bobbin arm of your machine and support the garment’s weight while stitching. It:

• Prevents sagging or drag on your hoop during embroidery
• Protects your machine’s arm from strain
• Improves stitch quality by keeping the hoop level
• Stops lightweight frames, like Durkee Frames, from bouncing and causing poor stitch outs

Whether you’re embroidering a jacket, blanket, or backpack, the Tubular Support keeps your machine safe and your results clean.
