I love the 500e and the way the hoops now attach! The
hoops are more stable and easier to attach. I’m in the process now of
using the largest hoop to put words and numbers on the back of t-shirts for
softball, and the largest hoop is as easy to use as the small one!!
To someone who said they’d like to see this type of hoop
attachment on a combo machine – I believe it would have to be a removable arm in
order to make that happen. My “combo” is the 8900 along with the 500e –
perfect for me!
