In one of my classes recently I had students ask why I used my BERNINA Maxi Hoop with my BERNINA 790 PRO. I thought this would be a great idea to share with all who have machines compatible with this huge hoop for embroidery.  I have to say when I have many designs to do, this is my go to hoop. It’s simply amazing because of it’s sheer size and maximum potential. Yes, it is an add on accessory to the ones shown below. However, this hoop is totally valuable and useful if big embroidery designs are required and/or production of many designs all at once. See the Maxi Hoop pictured below:

As shown a small, medium and large hoop are included with the 790 PRO . I added the Maxi Hoop to maximize my embroidery potential. As a result, I’m so thrilled to try larger and continuous designs.
