Fast Frames 7 in 1 Hoops for Brother PRS100 Persona & Baby Lock Alliance Single Needle Embroidery Machines

I have not used my standard hoops at all since receiving my fast frames. They make hooping so much faster and easier and you don't have to worry about hoops leaving marks or stretching out shirts or other knit materials. I embroider on lots of stuffed animals and these make embroidering on the bellies so easy. I would recommend these to anyone with a multi needle! I use a pr-600.

I purchased the product as a Christmas gift. As an after-market product, I am pleased with the quality and design aspects of this product. The flexibility of having multiple frames to hoop different items (socks, hats, etc.) is pleasing. Most of all, the wife is happy with it!

The frames arrived even before I was ready to use them. They are as pictures and I cannot wait to take my embroidery to the next level.I didn't give the product 5 stars because I've not used it yet but will upgrad ( or downgrade as needed) The frames got here in 4 days. They came well packed and wrapped in plastic to keep them from the elements if you package gets delivered and left out.I'm so excited to try my fast frames now

I didn't even know about these until I decided to check out the "official" tubular hoop for my Babylock machine ... which cost an unbelievable $1700!! One hoop, no different sizes. Still in shock, I went looking for an alternative and came upon the FastFrames system and I'm so glad I did. This system enables me to quickly and easily embroider small bags already put together, pant legs, pockets, etc. As soon as I got it my husband asked me to start putting designs on his coat and sweater sleeves, so he's happy, too.The only downsides (and they're small) are the stick-on stabilizer you have to use - not only do they leave a LOT of residue on the metal frame (and I don't care what anyone says, none of the commercial goo-removers I've used have been fast-acting. You will still need a lot of "elbow grease" to remove it) and the stuff doesn't peel off the embroidered area well at all. So be careful what you put it on.The set also doesn't come with a hoop large enough for, say, the back of a jacket, but I'm sure you can buy one separately, which I will do as soon as I can afford it.This frame set has DRASTICALLY reduced limitations in my embroidery, and I'm impressed with how well-thought-out it is. Don't be worried when you see the flat, naked-looking pieces of metal. It does what it's supposed to do, is very sturdy, and I would recommend it to anyone.

Before you buy, make sure that the Fast Frames will fit your machine. These frames did not work with my Baby Lock Alliance despite the product title and being installed per the directions provided. The frame vibrated excessively causing the machine to stop. I returned the set of frames and received a refund, minus a restocking fee of $65.26. There is no mentioned of a restocking fee in the product description.

Fast frames are awesome! I use these for almost everything! Baby clothes, soft knits, ribbon, and other awkward things that can't be hooped. Just be careful to make sure you know where your edges are, because your machine will not recognize your hoop size automatically (it will think it is the largest hoop due to the bracket you use).

I am new to the embroidery industry so wasn't sure if I needed these...they are worth every penny!!! Makes embroidery so much easier and faster than hooping.

Way too much vibration and too difficult to set up!
