I have had my needles break and my machine thrown out of alinement because there is not enough space allowed for embroidery area. Is there some way I can have the magna hoop cut out more to make it bigger
First of all, we, as the manufacturer of an aftermarket hooping tool, are limited by the sizes of the machine manufacturer’s hoops. There is not sufficient room in Janome’s (and others) to develop a Magna-Hoop which can utilize the full sewing field of the hoop; we have to have enough room for the metal base plate for the magnets to attach. Therefore, the sewing field is not the same as your full sewing field without the Magna-Hoop inserted.
Let me reiterate the following information which can also be found in the printed instructions received with your Magna-Hoop. Once you have loaded the design into the machine and positioned the hooped item on the machine – you MUST trace the design to ensure that it fits in the sewing area of Magna-Hoop. Printed templates are also helpful to determine if the design will fit. The embroidery machine has no way of determining if or which Magna-Hoop frame is on the machine and we have no way of telling it. Therefore, the embroiderer must make the determination of whether a design will fit or not. I find it helpful to lower the presser foot and trace a second time before stitching.

I bought the thing as a Christmas present, so I cannot speak to the product itself. However, in reading reviews from yours and other sites, it sounded like a must have for embroidery machines. Your was the best price, came with extras and the shipping wound up being fast and free. I've bookmarked your site in case I need to make future purchases if that tells you anything about my experience.

Item is on back order but I had to email to find this out. The rest came very fast.
