What are the advantages of a magnetic embroidery hoop?
Unlike a traditional screw hoop, the Bernina Large Magnetic Hoop uses powerful magnets to hold your fabric securely in place. This offers several benefits:
- Faster and easier hooping
- Reduced hoop marks (“hoop burn”)
- Less fabric distortion
- Excellent support for delicate or bulky fabrics
- Easier positioning for larger embroidery projects
It’s particularly useful when working with quilts, towels, garments and layered fabrics.
Is the Large Magnetic Hoop good for quilting?
Yes. The large embroidery field makes it an excellent choice for quilt blocks, edge-to-edge quilting designs and larger quilting motifs. The magnetic system also helps reduce distortion when hooping quilt sandwiches, making quilting projects easier to manage.
What size is the embroidery area?
The Bernina Large Magnetic Hoop provides a maximum embroidery area of approximately 210 × 400 mm, giving you plenty of room for larger embroidery designs and reducing the need to re-hoop larger projects.
Will the magnets damage my fabric?
No. The hoop is specifically designed by Bernina to securely hold fabric while minimising hoop marks and distortion. Many embroiderers find magnetic hoops especially beneficial for delicate fabrics that can be difficult to hoop traditionally.
Can I embroider thick materials with the Large Magnetic Hoop?
Yes. The magnetic clamping system makes it much easier to hoop bulky materials such as:
- Quilts
- Towels
- Denim
- Canvas
- Jackets
- Sweatshirts
- Layered projects
Because there is no traditional clamping screw, thicker projects are often easier to position and secure.

Safety Information ⚠️
BERNINA have thoroughly tested the hoops with our machines and they are safe to use, but it is important to note the following:
-
Malfunction of Medically Necessary Equipment
Cardiac pacemakers or other medical devices can be significantly interfered with in their function by the magnetic field of the embroidery hoop. -
Damage to Magnetic Storage Media, Electronic & Mechanical Devices
Magnetic media and devices can be permanently damaged in their function by the magnetic field of the embroidery hoop. -
How to Store/Transport the Magnetic Hoop
Do not place or store the components of the hoop on top of each other without using an intermediate layer (such as the supplied separating material or fabric). Separating hoop components that lie directly on top of each other can require significant force. Keep the hoop out of the reach of children.
