MaggieFrame Magnetic Hoop 3.9"x12.8" | 100x320mm for KKTech

Is it necessary to use protective stickers on the magnetic hoop to prevent it from scratching the fabric?

MaggieFrame magnetic hoops are designed with a fine smooth finish that keeps fabrics safe during embroidery. For most materials, no extra protective layer is needed. However, if you work with delicate or slippery fabrics such as silk or satin, applying a thin painter’s tape along the magnetic surface can offer additional grip without affecting embroidery alignment on KKTech embroidery machines.

I mainly embroider polo logos. How do I choose between different hoop sizes?

For typical polo shirt logos, a compact magnetic embroidery frame such as the 5-inch size provides the best control and precision. If you often embroider larger designs or stacked text, a medium size like 7-inch gives extra flexibility. The MaggieFrame 3.9″ × 12.8″ (100 × 320 mm) hoop is ideal for extended logo or sleeve placements on KKTech models like KK1201 and KK-1210.

Should I buy a complete set of magnetic frames or just one size I use most often?

It’s smart to start with the hoop size you use most frequently, such as 3.9″ × 12.8″ (100 × 320 mm) for general embroidery tasks. Once you experience the improved efficiency and time savings MaggieFrame hoops deliver on KKTech embroidery machines, having multiple sizes helps optimize production for different garment types and logo scales, from pockets to back designs.

When using this magnetic hoop, should the stabilizer be placed inside the frame or floated outside of it?

When embroidering with the MaggieFrame magnetic embroidery hoop, most users sandwich the fabric and stabilizer between the top and bottom magnetic rings to ensure strong tension. For thicker or structured items, like caps or jackets, floating the stabilizer beneath the bottom frame may provide better results. Both techniques work seamlessly with KKTech embroidery machine settings.
