Bernina Medium Border Clamp Embroidery Hoop

The BERNINA Medium Border Clamp Embroidery Hoop is a specialized hooping accessory designed for embroiderers who want to stitch precisely along fabric edges, hems, and borders. Rather than traditional hooping — which can leave hoop marks or cause distortion near finished edges — this clamp-style hoop grips fabric securely without enclosing it, making it ideal for tablecloths, napkins, quilts, cuffs, collars, and any project where embroidery meets an edge.

Key Features

• Clamp design holds fabric edges securely without requiring the fabric to pass through a traditional inner and outer hoop frame.
• Medium size provides a practical embroidery field suited to most standard border and hem embroidery projects.
• Reduces or eliminates hoop marks on finished edges and delicate fabrics that are difficult to re-press.
• Allows easy repositioning of fabric along a border for repeating designs or continuous edge embroidery runs.
• Compatible with select BERNINA embroidery machines that use the BERNINA hooping system and appropriate embroidery module or arm.
• Constructed to BERNINA's tooling standards for consistent registration and accurate design placement relative to the fabric edge.
• Works with BERNINA embroidery software for precise design positioning when stitching along measured borders.

Frequently Asked Questions

Which BERNINA machines is the Medium Border Clamp Embroidery Hoop compatible with?

The BERNINA Medium Border Clamp Embroidery Hoop is designed for use with BERNINA embroidery-capable machines that use the BERNINA hooping system, including machines in the 500, 700, 800, and 900 series equipped with an embroidery module or arm. If you are unsure whether this hoop is compatible with your specific machine, contact OSP Machines and we will confirm compatibility before you purchase.

What types of projects is the Border Clamp Hoop best suited for?

The Border Clamp Hoop is ideal for any project where embroidery is placed along or near a finished fabric edge. Common applications include tablecloths, napkins, placemats, quilt borders, cuffs, collars, towels, and garment hems. Because the clamp grips the fabric edge rather than enclosing it in a traditional frame, it is especially useful when you cannot or do not want to hoop the full fabric body.

Does the Border Clamp Hoop leave marks on fabric the way a standard hoop can?

The clamp design significantly reduces or eliminates the hoop marks associated with standard inner-and-outer ring hoops, particularly along finished or pressed edges. This makes it a preferred choice for projects where hoop marks would be difficult to remove or where the embroidery is close to a delicate finished edge.

What is included with the BERNINA Medium Border Clamp Embroidery Hoop?

The hoop itself is included. As with most BERNINA hooping accessories, no additional feet or attachments are bundled with this item. If you need a stabilizer, template, or other embroidery supplies, those are sold separately. Contact OSP Machines if you have questions about what you will need to get started with border embroidery.
