SewTech’s 9.5"×9.5" (240×240 mm) long-bar magnetic hoop for Brother Stellaire, Luminaire and Innov-ís NQ/VM machines and the matching Baby Lock models.
The biggest square hoop in the SewTech line — oversized monograms, quilt blocks, jacket backs and large appliqué with the fabric held flat edge to edge.
Why SewTech long-bar magnetic hoops
- Long-bar magnets, not spot magnets. Each bar clamps along the full edge of the frame for even pressure, so fabric stays flat with no shifting or puckering.
- Hoop in seconds. Lay your stabilizer and fabric on the base, set the magnets, and go — no screws, no wrestling an inner ring.
- Handles thick and tricky materials. Towels, denim, fleece, knits and canvas all hoop without hoop burn.
- Easy to straighten. Lift one magnet, nudge the fabric, set it back down. No re-hooping.
- Soft-coated base frame. Protects delicate fabrics and keeps them from sliding while you stitch.
- Peg-style connection that seats directly in your machine’s hoop slot, just like the factory hoop.

A magnetic hoop must fit within your machine’s maximum embroidery field — match the hoop size to your machine. Not sure? Call or stop by any ICanHelpSew location and we’ll confirm the fit for your model.
