BERNINA Medium Border Magnetic Hoop

The BERNINA Medium Border Magnetic Hoop is designed for embroiderers who work with border designs, continuous repeat patterns, and projects that require precise multi-position alignment. Using strong magnets in place of traditional clamps, this hoop holds fabric firmly without pressure marks, making it an excellent choice for delicate materials like organza and chiffon as well as thicker fabrics used in quilting and home décor. With a maximum embroidery area of 165 x 400 mm (6.5 x 15.75 inches), it offers enough space for meaningful border work while remaining manageable for smaller-scale projects.
