Brother SA443 4" x 4" Embroidery Hoop
SewingSpecs does not sell and does not show shop prices: check the price where you buy.
A snap-on embroidery hoop in the most common size: 4 x 4 inches, the embroidery area the product page names it by. An adjustment screw grips taut fabric regardless of thickness, and the grid printed on the frame helps center the design before hooping it onto the embroidery unit. It goes on and comes off with a snap, no hex keys or screwdrivers involved.
It fits a declared list of Brother embroidery machines: the Innov-ís 1000, 1200, 1250D and NS1150E, the Designio DZ820E, the PC6500, PC-8200, PC-8500 and PC-8500D, the PE700, PE700II, PE750D, PE770 and PE780D, plus the Simplicity SB7900E. Outside that list the mount to the embroidery unit may not match, even at the same embroidery area.
The 4x4 inch usable area suits initials, small monograms and single motifs; for larger designs the same machine family offers bigger hoops with the same snap-on mount.
