Marque - Ricoma

Q:Will this magnetic hoop fit my Ricoma machine?
A:Compatible with most Ricoma models. Before placing your order, please provide: (1) Brand/model; (2) The total length of your current hoop (Hoop Length); (3) The size or a clear photo of the original plastic hoop for a compatibility check.

Q:My model isn’t listed—how can I confirm compatibility?
A:Please send your machine model, a clear photo of the machine-arm nameplate, and your Hoop Length to our support team via email or WhatsApp for a quick confirmation. For measuring instructions, see the “Hoop Length Guide.”

Q:What do Ricoma hooping fixtures need to work with?
A:They must be used with the HoopTalent Hooping Station Kit and 5.1" or 6.9"

Q:Do you offer multi-size kits like an 8-in-1 set?
A:Yes—see the 8-in-1 Fast Magna Hoop Kit, a Ricoma-compatible multi-size magnetic hoop set.

Q:Which size should I pick (4"x4", 5"x7", 6"x10"+)?
A:4"x4" for small logos/cuffs/pockets/kidswear; 5"x7" for general garments; 6"x10"+ for jackets and larger chest/back designs.

Q:How do I avoid needle hits? Any tips for production runs?
A:Keep designs within the sewable area, add safety margins, reduce speed as needed, and do a trace/air-run first; for production, use a hoop station to improve repeatable alignment and efficiency.

Q:Which hoop lengths exist for Ricoma? Which one fits the EM-1010?
A:Common hoop lengths are 355 mm / 395 mm / 495 mm; the EM-1010 uses 502 mm (19.75"). Select the matching length option on the product page when ordering.

Q:Why do some listings say “Not For EM1010”?
A:The EM-1010 requires the 502 mm length and a different mounting setup; choose the EM-1010 option on the page. Non-502 mm versions are marked as not compatible.

Q:Can I just swap metal brackets between Ricoma models to reuse the same hoop body?
A:Brackets vary by brand and hoop length. Within the same series/length you can often reuse the hoop body by swapping brackets, but across different lengths or for special models (e.g., EM-1010) you must match both the length and the brackets exactly.

Q:What do Ricoma hooping fixtures require?
A:The fixtures are used together with the HoopTalent Hooping Station and 5.1" or 6.9" MaggieFrame magnetic hoops (magnetic tabs on the back help secure the stabilizer).
