    Default Octi hoops?????

    I have been quilting for many years and have tried several hoops for my domestic & "Tiara" machines. Just came across these hoops on YouTube. As with all hoops these seems to limit the workable area. Has anyone had actually experience with these? I have seen the price ranging from $149.00 to $109.00. I have too many others just sitting in a drawer or on a shelf to spend more. Your feedback would be greatly appreciated.

    They do limit your area to quilt. They also come in sizes you would never use. I used the largest on a double wedding ring quilt as I was working one handed and it did help. Not used it since I have got the use of both hands back.

    fancy that Amazon does not ship to my area of the country.

    Thanks for the information as I also decided after reading the reviews that it isn't a good fit for my projects.
