Maggiehoop Magnetic Embroidery Hoop for Brother Luminaire XP3/XP2/XP1, Stellaire XJ2/XE2, Dream Machine XV8550D, Baby Lock Solaris Vision/2, Altair, Meridian (9.5"x9.5", EF97MK)

Unlock smooth, repeatable hooping on today’s premium single-needle machines. The Maggiehoop EF97MK (9.5"×9.5") delivers an even magnetic hold across the entire 240×240 mm field, keeping fabric flat without the over-tight clamping that leads to distortion or hoop marks. Users in the Rufus Q&A consistently ask about magnet strength, thick materials, alignment, and whether stabilizer is required; this design addresses those points directly. Twelve high-grade magnets provide firm grip for everyday garments and multilayer projects such as jackets or denim. When you hit a very dense design, simply add more magnets—no tools, screws, or re-hooping. The included grid template speeds centering and rotation so you can place monograms on pockets, align quilting blocks, and run multi-color or multi-hoop layouts with confidence. Need to nudge placement? Lift a couple of magnets, adjust, and continue—no full un-hooping, which helps save stabilizer and time. The rigid metal frame is easy to wipe clean and uses a low-friction, scratch-resistant finish. It’s engineered for machine-arm clearance and doesn’t interfere with normal operation. Many customers also worry about residue on the back of their work; the balanced magnetic pressure helps reduce back-side mess and hoop marks when used with the right stabilizer for your fabric.

• Pro Fit for Newest Models – Purpose-built for Brother Luminaire XP3/XP2/XP1, Stellaire XJ2/XE2, Dream Machine XV8550D, and Baby Lock Solaris Vision/2, Altair, Meridian. If your machine uses a 240×240 mm square hoop, this fits.
• Steady Hold on Thick Fabrics – 12 strong neodymium magnets keep fabric flat to help prevent slippage, puckering, and shifting—even on denim, softshell, or jacket back panels. For very dense stitch areas, simply add extra magnets (optional).
• Faster Alignments, No Full Un-Hooping – Lift only the magnets you need to reposition or make color-change tweaks. Includes a numbered grid template for accurate centering/rotation on quilting blocks, pockets, and bag panels.
• Cleaner Backs, Fewer Hoop Marks – Even magnetic pressure reduces clamp marks and fabric stress. Use with or without stabilizer as your fabric requires; many users report less stabilizer waste and a smoother back.
• Built to Last & Safe for Your Machine – Rigid metal frame with a scratch-resistant finish; designed for proper arm clearance and no interference with machine operation. Quick start guide included. In the box: SQ240 magnetic hoop, grid template, 12 magnets.
