Hi Jerry, thanks for a great video, i have brother 1055x and i got the 8x13 mighty hoop but i'm still scared to use it in case it's off centre or i hit the sides, please do more on this subject, thanks
That's a great question! I have not attempted applique using the 14x14. My thoughts are, if it is possible, you would do one part of your placement, rotate the hoop, finish the placement stitch. Then rotate the hoop for the first part of the tack-down stitch, etc. Another idea would to break the 3-part stitch (placement, tack-down, then finish/outline border) files into separate files. Copy and paste the 3 parts of the design into separate files, so one file would be the placement, one file would be the tack-down, etc. Please keep me posted on how it turns out! :-)
@@mancaveembroidery I have the 14 inch hoop and the Brother software. If I split the designs, I’d there anyway to use the slit designs without the snowman sticker? Jeanette
Thanks for your note! You can purchase it directly from Mighty Hoops, www.hoopmaster.com. Another great source of information on Mighty Hoops is on Facebook at "Let's Hoop It Together". You can order directly from Cathy on this page - she often has free shipping on orders.
Jerry great video. Where did you get the 14x14 hoop. I just talked to Mighty Hoops a couple of weeks ago, he said that 8x13 is the largest for my Baby Lock Valiant. Any help is appreciated.
Hi Richard! If you contact Mighty Hoop and ask for the 14x14 hoop, they should be able to help you. Another fantastic resource is the group "Let's Hoop It Together" on Facebook.
Hi from the UK Thank you a very handy video. I have a question. I have got a used PR655 that came with a B arm frame. Can i use this on my PR655 machine? i don't see anyone have this with their six needle PR machines. If so, I would also love this mighty hoop. Thank you Gerry. Regards, Ann.
What type of projects would you use the 14x14 hoop for? I also noticed that you used your table attachment on your machine. I never use mine. Are there specific projects that I should have my table attached to my machine for?
Hi Shanda! I use the table any time I would need extra support, so the item I am embroidering does not pull down unnecessarily on my hoop. I mainly use it when embroidering on towels, as they tend to be heavier. I also do karate belts, so it provides a nice flat surface on the bottom of my hoops. The 14x14 hoop could be used for creating a large embroidered "quilt panel", back of jackets (that open up in the front), or towels. I have seen absolutely wonderful PhotoStitch projects on a 14x14 hoop - then then are framed and look amazing! It's fun to let your imagination go as far as possibilities. :-)
Yes, I made a "family tree" design, and it worked great! Since I use Brother software, the machine uses the snowman sticker for alignment, and it always works great! Unfortunately, I cannot find a way to upload a photo here, so if you would like, send me a note to ManCaveEmbroidery@gmail.com, and I would be happy to send you a photo of the family tree design. I took the photo while it is still in the 14x14 hoop.
I used Brother BES 4, with the Power Pack 1 addition, to split the design. There are many different software programs that will split a design, but what I like about using the Brother software is it utilizes the machine's camera and a snowman sticker to align the two different parts of the design.
Hi jerry who did your split design for you? I got a design done that’s split but since it’s not brother I am having a hard time getting the design to align
I used Brother BES software, as it has a feature to "split" the design. I believe other Brother software also has this capability. If you use the Brother software to split the design, you use the "snowman" stickers that help the machine align the split designs.
@@mancaveembroidery thank you , the person that’s currently making design does not have the brother program so trying to find out the best way to get it to work
@@robynm8952 hi which edition of embrilliance software did you use? And does it have a built in option to automatically notify you to change the second design?
In embrilliance, go to preferences, on the right in Hoop Style, choose, Multi-Position, then select Jumbo Frame 14x14. Another video said u need to transfer the saved design via flash drive for this size, not wirelessly like I normally do with embrilliance. I saw this on another video.
Hi, I noticed that you sewed on the Pro X, how large is this design? Can you go all the way to using the entire sew field of 14x14 (ish)?

Thanks for your note! The 8x13 Mighty Hoop is a fantastic hoop - note made for a new video. Thanks, again!

Where did you buy that hoop? I can't find it anywhere. Thanks for the demo. It's good.

Hi Ann! Unfortunately, the 14x14 hoop only works on the Brother/Babylock 10 needle machines, not the 6 needle...
COMO CONSIGO O DESENHO DO BONECO DE NEVE PARA USAR??

Hi, Thank you for the demo but I want to know if you have used it on more complex designs and how did it fair on the stitch out.

Which Brother software did you use that splits the designs in half?
I used BES 4 Dream Edition, with the Power Pack 1 add-on, to split my design.
Embrilliance does it, too. It works with Macs and Windows-based computers.
