Mighty Hoop compatibility-ZSK

The following are notes we have made about ZSK machines.

The hoops on this page will fit some ZSK machines, but not all.  The first thing you will need to do is to figure out which type of brackets your machine can use. Please look at these pictures and take similar measurements of the existing hoops you use with your machine. Once you know your sewing field size, select the hoop that you are interested in and then select the sewing field option that is the same as your current hoop. If you have both, we recommend ordering the smaller ZSK400 if possible.
