I'm thinking of getting a hooping system to hopefully make life a little easier. Is it all it's cracked up to be or is it like those infomercial products late at night? Can anybody recommend which brand of hooping system is good? I have a commercial machine. Thanks guys.

Re: Do you use a hooping system??
I just bought a Hoop Master System and while I like it, I think it is way over priced! Can someone tell me why it is called a system when only one size hoop can be used for a $500 price tag? Is there something I am missing?
Re: Do you use a hooping system??
I use hoopmasters. They are the most universal, plus they have all kinds of goodies and accessories to accommodate large garments and such.
I've seen the all in ones by tex, but don't really know much about them.
Re: Do you use a hooping system??
I would guess that is because it can be added too. You can hoop different types of placements with the sleeve board such as below the collar on the back, collars, above fishing shirt pockets, sleeves, small youth items, aprons and knit caps.

I've used HoopMaster for seven years without any problems. Its saves time and hoops with accuracy. The sleeve board (that may not be the correct name) is great for hooping sleeves and beanies. I highly recommend it. Its expensive but consider the cost to be part of your initial investment.

Re: Do you use a hooping system??
I bought a HoopMaster last year and am very pleased i did. It definitely helps, a lot actually. It allows me to get more done accurately and saves my wrists. Go to a dealer to try it out yourself to be sure it's for you. I bought mine under 30 day money back guarantee just in case it wasn't what I hoped it would do. Fortunately I never had a reason to return it :)
Re: Do you use a hooping system??
the embroidery company i used to work for also had a hoopmaster. they are great for the wrist if you have to hoop non stop everyday so theyre definitley worth the money.
Re: Do you use a hooping system??
I didn't know such a device existed. Can you guys also name other brands of this device so I can do some comparrison? It looks like it's something I might need eventually.

Re: Do you use a hooping system??
Hoopmaster is the only good hooping system out there. That's why no one is really recommending anything else. The price is a bit on the high side, but IMO, totally worth every cent. I have 2 of them (for about 8 years now) and my operators LOVE them. They are great for consistent placement on shirts, but I think they really show their worth on hat backs, bags, cuffs, sleeves, blankets, etc. And lots of other non-typcial placements/items. They easily pay for themselves in a short amount of time.

HoopMaster...there is no second guessing.
I bought the full setup.
Here are videos...watch them and see for yourself.

For some serious hooping try P&F Equipment. Thousands of dollars.
