At 5.5" square (140mm x 140mm) the SQ14 is just the right size for many embroidery designs. For best results you want your hoop to be close to the size of the design you'll be stitching out so the hoop support the fabric and keep it from flexing as the needle goes in and out. You'll find that this square hoop is ideal for thousands of commercially available embroidery designs. Use with Janome models: MC12000 Horizon, MC15000 Horizon and Elna model EL900 eXpressive.
An optional template is available as an add-on purchase. This template is clear plastic with a grid that helps in getting that perfect alignment for your embroidery designs.
