Yes Terri, we purchased the Hoop Screw and Barrel Nut Assy., #005576-01,
from Melco Mart and replaced all our thumb wheel screws on the plastic
rectangular jacketback hoops. Depending on the fabric, I still might add a
few strips of rubber shelf liner in strategic spots when I hoop or wrap your
hoops. We changed the screws because that darned little thumb wheel was
awkward to reach without needle nosed pliers and in no time I stripped the
little ridges off the screw. Now I can finger tighten or use a screwdriver.
At least it got rid of my frustrations!!!

Sharon,
So with this new screw, you can get that hoop to tighten enough? I was so
thrilled to get the largest hoop without having to change the arms. But I
was very disappointed as it does not hoop worth a darn on its own. I added
several layers of vet wrap and then polymesh backing around that. Thanks
for the tip.
Terri

Hi Sharon,
I was wondering how you replaced the thumb wheel screws with the "end screws" on this hoop as there is not a hole all the way through the area that hold the screw. Someone had mention earlier on the list to replace the thumb wheel screw but I could never figure it out.
Thanks,
Terri Embroidery Creations

Ah, I have done some of those Russell. Also some vests with the same type
of flap. One other suggestion is to wrap your hoops (sometimes I just use
strips of rubber shelf lining and lay at the loose areas) to make your
hoops
fit snuggly. We also replaced the little center screws with the ones that
you tighten from the end--sorry, I don't know the names of those
screws--and
it is much easier to tighten them. Maybe that will help keep frames from
popping off. Just a couple thoughts if you haven't already tried them.

I have some of those hoops, they are the 17.2 X 11.7, they are a little bit
to wide for some of the shirt backs I have to do, they need to fit up inside of a vent back fishing shirt.

Hi Russell, I just measured the inside open area of our smallest double hoop and it measures 16.5" X 11.25". Hope this helps. Sharon

Does anyone know if the 14 X 11.7 hoops are available in wooden double hight? I have a plastic one but it just doesn't hold good enough for a large design.
Thanks in advance Russell Silva R. S. Embroidery 508-222-4433
