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

How to Store/Transport the Magnetic Hoop

Separating hoop components that lie directly on top of each other can require significant force. Keep the hoop out of the reach of children.
