I made my own hooping station including a cross-hair laser for line up. Cost?
I bought the laser light for $89. The base and the platform for the shirt to
go on are cutting boards from Wal Mart. With a few fixtures from Home Depot
and a few screws, I put it together. I had a laser cut me some 3/8 plastic in
the shape of the top and bottom of the hoop. Had my hubby drill holes the
them, down into the cutting board. Then glued dowels into the holes of the
plastic pieces. Made 2 sets of holes - one for the 4.5" hoop and one for the
next size up. Occasionally, I need it for a larger hoop and just use tape to
hold it temporarily. It works very well and cost me about $135, with the laser
cross-hair fixture the most expensive part @ $89. And BTW, I use Scotch tape
to hold down the stabilizer.
For the above question, you really don't need a hooper to hoop a bag. I try to
mark the center of the design with chalk. Then just shove the bottom of the
hoop inside, centering the mark, then drop the top part on it! And presto - it
is hooped.
