Why are they helpful and what are the options?

When it comes to embroidery, getting your items hooped easily, accurately, and consistently can make all the difference. That’s where Mighty Hoop Fixtures come in. HoopMaster Fixtures for Mighty Hoops have many key features that aid in the embroidery hooping process.

These features include magnetic backing holder flaps to securely hold your stabilizer, the patented Blue Clip to secure your magnetic Mighty Hoop in the Fixture while adjusting your garment, and lines and numbers for alignment and repeat placement.

If you’ve ever wondered why there are so many different Fixture sizes (and which one is best for your embroidery business, you’re in the right place!

Here’s the scoop

Every magnetic Mighty Hoop Fixture size (with a few exceptions we’ll talk about below) comes with the Fixture itself and the FreeStyle Arm. You can use the Fixture with the FreeStyle Arm and attach it to the Portable Mounting Base.

This setup is great for hooping smaller items like tote bags, infant and toddler items, beanies, backpacks, and more! All Fixture sizes with a FreeStyle Arm fit on the Portable Mounting Base.

You can also use the Fixture without the FreeStyle Arm by removing it from the FreeStyle Arm, flipping it upside down and placing it on any of our HoopMaster Stations. (The Standard Station is the most common and is included in most Kits.)

Paired with one of our Stations, the Fixture allows you to hoop left and right chest and center front and back designs with ease. You can place the Fixtures anywhere within the Station holes, so placement possibilities are endless.

With all these options, how do you know which Mighty Hoop Fixture is right for you? Let’s break down each size and its most common uses.

What are the Adjustable Fixtures?

By now, you might be thinking: “Wait a second… Isn’t there a Fixture that will fit all my magnetic Mighty Hoop sizes?” Fear not! 

For many embroiderers, one size Fixture is all they’ll ever need because they focus on a specific style of embroidery, like many contract embroiderers do. But if you work with a variety of garments and design sizes, our Mighty Hoop Adjustable Fixtures might just be the perfect option for you. 

The Adjustable Fixture slides onto the HoopMaster Station and adjusts to hold multiple sized Mighty Hoops. (All Mighty Hoops with a depth of 14” or less fit on the Standard Station Adjustable Fixture.) 

An important note: Adjustable Fixtures are for center hooping only. They do not allow left or right chest positioning like the size-specific Fixtures above. Be sure to order the corresponding Adjustable Fixture size for the Station size you have. Station Adjustable Fixtures are not universal for the different Station Sizes. For example: The Standard HoopMaster Station would require the Standard Station Adjustable Fixture, and the Infant Station would require the Infant Station Adjustable Fixture.

Finally, let’s talk about the Adjustable FreeStyle Fixture. This tool works much like the Fixtures with the FreeStyle Arm but isn’t tied to one specific Mighty Hoop size. It attaches to the Portable Mounting Base and adjusts to fit almost any Mighty Hoop 13” tall and under. (It is not compatible with the 4.375” round Mighty Hoop.)

At the end of the day, choosing the right Fixture depends on the type of embroidery you do most often. If your work is consistent and you primarily use one hoop size, a single Fixture may be all you ever need.

But if you’re tackling everything from corporate polos, baby bodysuits and jacket backs, investing in multiple size Fixtures will give you the flexibility to handle it all. We even offer Kits with one or multiple Fixture options to get you off and running. 

That’s the beauty of our Mighty Hoop Fixtures and Hoops: Whether you’re a high-volume embroidery shop or just getting started, our Fixtures are designed to make hooping faster, accurate, and consistent.

With the right setup, you’ll save time, reduce mistakes, and focus more on what matters most, creating amazing embroidery!
