Frames:
Constructed from high impact plastics reduces vibration through the hoop.
Brass inserts for all screws -- Molding in brass inserts reduces the chance for screws to loosen by providing greater holding power.
Light texture on hooping surface area -- Texturing the hoop's surface provides better holding of garments during sewing for better registration.
Extra height -- The additional height of the hoop also helps in holding thicker, hard-to-hold garments.
Directional guides -- Directional guides make centering designs effortless.
Adjusting Rings:
Constructed from high impact plastics -- The high impact plastic makes the DE ring of the hoop unbreakable.
Thumb screw is larger and longer than our competitors' -- The larger size of the thumbscrew provides more torque, so it is easy to adjust and opens wide for thick garments.
Wide space for thumb screw adjusting -- The extra space for reaching the thumb screw also aids in adjusting the ring.
Metal Clips:
Extra long clips -- The length of the clips aid in reducing vibration through the hoop.
Screws with lock washers -- Attaching the clips to plastic with screws and lock washers prevents the clips from vibrating loose.
Zinc plating with clear chromate finish -- Zinc provides a harder surface that reduces wear, adding to the life span of the clip.
