I use them at times as a last resort. When the item is heavy, like luggage, it has to be supported by hand to keep the frame from flexing and banging into the arm. I like the magnetic hoops for bulky items because they are often difficult to get flat while hooping. The magnetic hoops make it relatively easy (with strong hands) to pull on the fabric to make it tight and the hoops do not separate. They also hold over seams and zippers. I have not tried the slimline frames. David Sklar Ballyhoo!
