I got my Solaris with the Upgrade 2 and not the Upgrade 1. Some things in Kit 2 don't work without Kit 1 installed. I went back to the store and we made a great deal for me to buy Kit 1, Now, I'm loving my machine sooo much. Still so very much to learn!
Thank you for taking the time to demo the use of Baby Lock's magnetic hoop. I heard about them and really needed more info, besides, my Baby Lock Flare is my newest and why would I need the same size hoop I already purchased. Your demo detailed the pluses of the magnetic hoop easily, thanks for that. Now I know what all the commotion is about. Now I only see the 5x7 hoops, are there larger sizes, I'm thinking about a 10 x 14" if the size is right.
I'm very wary of magnets on my Solaris 2, even those made by Baby Lock. I've read comments on other channels from people that used DIME magnetic hoops and slowly over the years the computer in their machines started failing. After all, they do tell us not to put magnets on our machines.
I just bought one for my Altair and it's manufactured in Vietnam and I also just Brother's Hoop and it is identical to the one I just bought. So I wonder if it is in fact made by a third party for Babay Lock and for Brother.
It does not, I think because they would have to manufacture a totally separate frame carrier for it because the spacing is different on an alliance. I wish they had though, it would be great for an alliance with that 8 x 8 max field.
I hope they will come out with more sizes for the flat bed. Also so they can be used with the cell phone app for positioning on the meridian. Do you know if the 7x14 magnet one can be used on a Meridian? (I actually own the Brother equivalent, but it should work same as Meridian).
So glad I found your channel. I am a professional longarm quilter - always wanted to embroider. One month ago, I purchased a BL Array from an Oklahoma dealer nearer me. Two of these magnet frames came in my bundle. I had the 4x4 on, typed in a name that was 1x2. Got the error that I needed a bigger frame. The view screen showed it with plenty of room. I have asked my dealer 3x about this. They have no answer. Do you have any ideas? Also, I know I need software but no idea what to get. I am used to ProStitcher and ProStitcher Designer on my longarms. However, I was floured when I saw the prices of embroidery software and don't want to go for F TCU yet. Got any suggestions on that too? I will be following all your videos now. Thank you so much. PS: I actually visited Ellicott City before.
Hard to say why the design says it wont fit without being there to look at it. Did you update the machine? It doesn't work out of the box on an array, you need the latest update. As for software Floriani is of course my choice, but you could get stitchartist for a lot less to dip your toe in if you wanted.
Sometimes you need to go into the menu and select a different frame size. No idea why it does this, but the manual should tell you how to correct the frame size,
I can't guarantee it without trying it myself. Saddle pads are THICK. Maybe if you've got a dealer close by bring a saddle pad in and see how it holds?
Another question: Have 4x4 & 5x7. Love them now. I need a bigger one. I only have up to 12” space on Array so confused about what to buy. Also looked at Mighty Hoop. What larger magnetic frames do you have to recommend? Thanks.
@@EllicottCitySewVac love sticky stabilizer. I got my first roll of it from Sulky when I got my Ellisimo Gold 2 over 14 years ago. Now have a Solaris 2. I don't understand why people present sticky stabilizer as something new! I love it because you can just patch it and keep using for a long time!
I enjoy your detailed videos also. I understand everything clearly.
I ordered my frame and got the update for my machine and I just love it.

Was the price mentioned? I heard $300+ !
Great demo. I bought the Dime, but definitely have this hoop on my wish list.
me too
Thanks for your detailed videos!

Will the multi-needle frame work on my new Alliance?
Dose this new frame fit Ellison gold?
Hi Brad...will these hoops work on my 10-needle brother 10 needle? Please say yes...
What is the price of the new hoops for Baby Lock? I have 2 from the Dime. My dealer just closed it's shop on New Years Eve.
What do you do when your design is bigger than your hoop please
Thank you!!!! I was completely lost!!!
How hard is it to get apart? I don’t have a lot of strength in my hands.
Will this hoop work on an Alliance?
It does not, I think because they would have to manufacture a totally separate frame carrier for it because the spacing is different on an alliance. I wish they had though, it would be great for an alliance with that 8 x 8 max field.
Does it work on Flourish II
I have a Babylock Ellisimo Gold 2. Will it work on my machine?
Do the hoops come larger?
Thank you
I hope they will come out with more sizes for the flat bed. Also so they can be used with the cell phone app for positioning on the meridian. Do you know if the 7x14 magnet one can be used on a Meridian? (I actually own the Brother equivalent, but it should work same as Meridian).
So do you not use stabilizer with these hoops?
That's what I came to the comments to find out, good question.
Great explanation. Thanks
Do you know when in October the software update will come out for the destiny embroidery machine?
No
Interesting, but you didn't include the stabilizer in the demonstration. The stiffness of the stabilizer would make a lot of difference.
nah for that material you wouldn't use stiff stabilizer, it'd be a fusible mesh. Would've helped keep rumples out though, that is true.
I have the flourish 1 will it work on this machine
@@SandraGarcia-rh1nz unfortunately not
Please show us how with stabilizer. Thank you for your videos.
My right thumbscrews actually lift the peg up out of the hole. Which hole are you using?
screw goes in the furthest hole to the right
@@EllicottCitySewVac thank you thank you thank you!!!!!
Thanks for the comparison

By the way, if you do decide to get floriani, I sell it for $1799 and always have it in stock.

No idea why it does this, but the manual should tell you how to correct the frame size,

Will this hold a horse saddle pad on the multi needle machine
I can't guarantee it without trying it myself. Saddle pads are THICK. Maybe if you've got a dealer close by bring a saddle pad in and see how it holds?
Will this work on the Babylock Aventura?
yeah you just have to update to the latest version
Another question: Have 4x4 & 5x7. Love them now. I need a bigger one. I only have up to 12” space on Array so confused about what to buy. Also looked at Mighty Hoop. What larger magnetic frames do you have to recommend? Thanks.
DIME 8x12 works ok for flat stuff, look into durkee ez frames, too. Thats what I use mostly. They use sticky stabilizer instead of magnets.
@@EllicottCitySewVac I already have the Durkee Easy Frames. I was hoping to find a larger magnetic. Thanks, though.
@@JuliePettyjohn Looks like you can use the 8x14 one on an array, it just only lets you use 8x12. Thats what it says on the box!
@@EllicottCitySewVac love sticky stabilizer. I got my first roll of it from Sulky when I got my Ellisimo Gold 2 over 14 years ago. Now have a Solaris 2. I don't understand why people present sticky stabilizer as something new! I love it because you can just patch it and keep using for a long time!
Can the clip get in the way if needing to embroider further down on an item.
.
The machine wont let you hit any of the clips.
love this
i have magnetic for the viking designer deluxe royale like this but round
Can this work for the pe800
Please list the model number or a link to find this product
Does this work on the Ellisimo Gold?
It doesn't. They have not announced any plans to update the ellisimo to be able to use it.
Those are perfect for Onesies & embroidering baby items
does it work with Brother stellaire
Yes
Do they work on a unity
yeah but you have to update to the latest version. you can download it on baby locks website
@@EllicottCitySewVac thanks, as soon as I get back sewing I will look into it
I paid $415.00 for my hoop. Better be worth it! No sign of update for it. Babylock should have update before release of hoop. Sheesh
trust me you're preaching to the choir. It is great though.
@@EllicottCitySewVac when is the update coming out for DestinyI so I can use it?
@@dianew1511 I was told October originally but it's not out yet so who knows
@@EllicottCitySewVac Always enjoy your videos. I wouldnt of known about the hoop any other way.
You need to update your machine to use the hoop??? I don't have this new hoop but I had the DIME one and didn't have to update anything.
