I'd have hooped this differently. Marking the towel, then the stabilizer lying on top doesn't ensure your design is straight. Instead, place the hoop on top of the sticky stabilizer so its stuck to the frame and you can see the frame edge. Then mark your design position on the sticky. Your design will be straight because the stabilizer can't slip. Any residue stabilizer can be soaked off the hoop with warm soapy water. If doing a small design carefully remove finished design...but leave the sticky in the hoop. You'll have a hole in the sticky where your design was. Trim the edges of the hole and patch it with another small piece of sticky and sew out the next design. Sticky stabilizer is expensive and you'll save on a lot of wastage this way. You can even patch the hole with a regular stabilizer.
I just recently bought my brother sb7900e...I'm getting very excited to learn how to use it. Thank you for such an informative video!!! I definitely liked and subscribed!!!!!!
Do you have to use the sticky stabilizer? I have mixed reviews about this hoop. I just didn't see the magnets pulling it tight. But you use sticky stabilizer also to help hold it tight. Will the magnets not hold tight?
I recently bought a magnetic hoop for my PE900 and had similar difficulties attaching it. I watched a few you tube videos and found them helpful. In particular one showed attaching the back first then the front. Just the opposite of how you attach the regular hoop. I don’t remember exactly what video but I searched for attaching magnetic hoop to brother PE 900.
by using wash away eventually the pile will come through because after the first wash there is no more wash away. You need to use something that can stay in the towel. A tear away or cut away. On the fabric you are using there really isn't a nap like towels so I wouldn't even bother with a topper. Good tutorial though and great design.
Thank you. This particular hoop was $79 on Amazon. But I have seen them as high as $200 depending on your machine. I have been using this one for awhile now and I absolutely think its worth it. I have a hard time using my regular hoop now. The magnet one makes it so fast and easy.
I'll tell you a fantastic secret now. I simply cover the frame of the hoop with fabric. Then I cut a hole inside the size of the hoop. Like in the dimensional film of the hoop. I stitch the hole along the edges, for strength. And I always attach any fabric with small needles to the fabric along the edges of the hoop. I don't spare the needles, I attach them every 3-4 cm. That's it! Universal hoops are ready for any fabric. And you don't need to spend up to $500 on these unreliable hoops with magnets! I wrapped all the hoops in fabric like this. Of all sizes.

Great tip!

Im just here for the Rooster. 😊😉 🐓
I love that design, as soon as I can I would love to try it.
I saw your difficulty removing the hoop..did you know you can manually lift the foot higher while you pull out the hoop
Thanks for the great tip!

I have used sticky, cut away and tear away without any issues. The magnets are super strong. It doesn’t move.
I have a PE770 & I am having a terrible time trying to get the magnetic hoop to attach… you made it look so easy. Any suggestions?
I would make sure it's the right size. It should slide on easily. If it doesn't their might be a problem with the hoop.

nice video..cute lil girl in background..I am thinking of investing in a magnetic hoop but they are VERY expensive!
