The Brother Hoop SAFF012 is a fantastic tool for expanding embroidery possibilities, especially for large designs. It allows users to embroider up to 7" x 12", then flip the hoop to complete a merged 14" x 12" design. This hoop requires Brother PE Design or comparable embroidery software to split the design before stitching.
It works well with PR600 and PR1000 series machines, offering a 12" x 14" embroidery field for more customization. The hoop frame uses adhesive spray or sticky back stabilizers to hold fabric in place, making it ideal for sport knits and hard-to-sew items.
For non-Brother hoops like Fast Frames, Quick Snap, or Purse hoops, a trial layout is recommended to ensure proper alignment and avoid needle collisions. While the machine console only recognizes Brother hoops, it can still use these alternatives effectively.
