acufill hoops w/magnets

There really isn't anything for the batting to get caught on-the feed teeth are down and if you don't have the embroidery unit attached, that plug thing should be protected by the cover (that you should put back on when the unit isn't there, so I guess I just don't understand the worry.

I also use a single layer of light weight stabilizer--NOT fusible, under the batting.  Gives great embroidery and neat back of quilt.

I haven't had any problem with the batting getting caught.  If you use a good quality batting, I think that would help.  If you are worried, you could always slide a piece of lightweight stabilizer underneath.  I do it that way because embroideries don't always look perfect on the back and because it reduces the bulk I have to deal with.  To each his own, everyone has a different way of doing things.

Yes I would have thought that batting would get caught and to me I wanted to do it all at once, and I have since sorted my problem with magnets popping off. Naomi

I bought another set of magnets off ebay and put on top of the existing ones which have made them stronger and I haven't had a plastic clamp  pop off since. I have magnetic hoops for my brother pr600 which has much stronger magnets and it has not affected that machine if anyone is worrying about magnets. Naomi

May I ask what batting you are using. I find this interesting. I am getting ready to do a quilt Jacobean Journey but am not fond with doing the bias binding on the back and don't really care if it is reversible.  Love all the ideas and thoughts that are posted on here. Thank you. Pam

I always use a layer of no show mesh and then my batting under the quilt designbefore I add the backing.

Warm and Natural is fantastic.  I also use Polyfil polyester batting, both high loft and low loft, and Hobbs 80/20.  I actually like the Polyfil a lot.  I started using it because it is relatively easy to find without having to order it or make a trip to a quilt shop (there aren't any really close to me).  Although it is polyester, I toss it and any other batting I'm using in the dryer with a damp towel for awhile before using because that takes out the wrinkles and any shrinkage there might be.

I use Matilda's own wool/cotton batting because I like the warmth you get from it Naomi

I would suggest to anyone interested in the batting discussion, check out the one from anembroideredaffair.com  She carries one everyone is raving about.  I did purchase it but have not used it as yet.  This brand is about 94" wide.   You have to belong to the group, Claire s.
