Please use the information below to order your correct size of Mighty Hoop for your machine:
BARUDAN EMBROIDERY MACHINES
* If the model number starts with BED, BEV, BEX or BEK, it should be QS style
* If the machine is 2002 or newer, it should be one of the above models so should be QS
* If they can sew more than 14” wide, they have to have a 520 spacing
* The models that end in CA are the smaller field machines that can’t use the 11×13” hoops. You will find the CA models in the BEVT and BEXT series.
* 380mm spacing is called STANDARD on Multihead.
* 520mm spacing is called STRETCH on Multihead.
How to determine what the biggest Mighty Hoop that can fit on a Barudan Machine. This is just a reference, it may not work for all models of machines.
* If the largest standard hoop is a 300×290, can only go up to an 8×13” Mighty Hoop
* If the largest standard hoop is a 300×430, can only go up to an 11×13” Mighty Hoop
* If the largest standard hoop is a 330×438, can only go up to a 12.5×15.75” Mighty Hoop
* If the largest standard hoop is a 330×483, can only go up to a 12.5×15.75” Mighty Hoop
* If the largest standard hoop is a 460×434, can go up to our 17×16” Mighty Hoop
The 10×19″ hoop is too large for all barudan machines
Single Head Machines
9-Needle Machines
BEXT-S901CAII would fit an 11×13 with an offset bracket. Offset bracket is MH-BQ520-1113-BKT-O. The offset is 7/8” offset. Cust says he lost about 1.5” off the front of the hoop.
BEXT-S901CAII could not fit the 4.25×13
We found out a BEVT S901 could only use an 8×13, not sure what year the machine was.
We found out a BEDT ZN901 could not use the 10×10, sent an 8×9 to switch out.
15-Needle Machines
A BEVT-S1501 CA II (2014) can only use an 8×13, the 11×13 hits the back of the machine. This machines largest standard hoop is a 300×290.
BEDT-ZN-101 older machines most likely can’t use larger than an 8×13 just like the newer CA models.
BENT-ZQ-201U – A customer stated his machine could handle a 330×438 hoop, we sent him a 12.5×15.75 hoop. The arms on his machine were too short and the hoop hit the back of the machine, so had to go down to an 11×13″ hoop.
BEVT we believe is an Elite Pro 2 and has QS520 spacing.
BEKT-S1501CAII – can only do an 8×13” Mighty Hoop.
BEKT-S1501CII – Can do 17×16” Mighty hoop and all smaller sizes.
BEKT-S1501CBIII – Barudan Elite Pro 3 can use the 13×16 with the QS520 spacing.
Two & Four Head Machines
D-Series – Comes in QS520
BEDYHE-ZQC04 – Can do 460×434, should be able to do 17×16 with BQ520
K-Series – comes in QS520
BEKYS 1504C II – 17×16” works on QS520 stretch machines
X-Series – Comes in QS520
BEXY-Z1504C – Can go up to a 12×15.
Six Head Machines
K-Series – Comes in QS380 (Standard) or QS520 (Stretch)
We made a new hoop in 5-18 for QS380 machines that can use a 460×304 Barudan hoop. It is called the 17×11. Actual inside is 17 3/8 deep by 10 7/8” wide (44cm x 27.5cm)
Machine is BEKY-1506 380 spacing
Part MH-BQ380-1711

INBRO USA EMBROIDERY MACHINES
Most machines use the IN350 bracket.
IB-TUN-1206-45 – Has a measurement of 15.5” wide. Jesse recommend that we try the SWF392 brackets for the Inbro machine. We are trying with Atlantic Embroidery to see if they will work. See SO#26371. TB
IB (Inbro) C1201 can use a 13×16 with 1.25” Offset bracket per customer ID: GEORGE S

MELCO AMAYA EMBROIDERY MACHINES
Mighty Hoop
Only designed for Tubular style machines
Uses Melco brackets
MT400 spacing can go up to 10×10” Mighty Hoop
MT475 spacing can go up to an 15×12 Narrow Wing or 13×15
MT589 spacing – Requires Wider Arms
Max Depth 17×16
Max Width 10×19
Model
Amaya, Bravo, EMT10, XTS
Can go up to an 15×12 (Narrow Wing) or 13×15
Can do the 4.25×16 with a 4.25×13 1.5” offset bracket.
We tried to make a MT400-17×11, but it would need to be offset so far it was not practical so did not make it, the MH-MT475 15×12 would be a better option.
Can use the Melco Wider Arms
14×16 not recommend as it just barely hits the wider arms in the back.
EMT-10T
Can only go up to an 11×13” Mighty Hoop.
Cannot use the Melco Wider Arms
EMT-4T (4 head tubular machine)
Can go out to 475 spacing
Cannot use the special 589 wider arms
EMC
We do make a 5.5” Mighty Hoop for EMC Flat machines as well. Email for information.
RICOMA EMBROIDERY MACHINES
Mighty Hoops
Most Ricoma have preloaded letter hoops in the control to choose. For Example, A = 12cm B=15cm C=18cm. This is only cosmetic for the user to see the design of the hoop on the screen. The machine would let you sew the whole sew able area.
Single Head Machines
Machines Models before 2020 (Pre-Pandemic) used Tajima 360, 500, and 600 spacing.
Tajima Brackets
Machines came with Green Hoops
Machines Models made in 2020 to present used Tajima style CH400A, 500, and 600 spacing.
It should be noted that most machines still have the TJ360 tubular arm spacing. However, we are recommending the CH400A to stay in line with the 15cm round hoops that come with the machine.
Machines came with Grey Hoops
Summary –
for small hoops you may be able to use the 360, or 400A sewing field, but you probably want to order what you already have so you don’t need to move the arms on the machine when changing from Mighty Hoops to your existing hoops.
Multi-Head Machines
Use CH400A Bracket (The A stands for Tajima style bracket with 1 square cut out)
Maybe able to move to CH500 spacing on some Multi-head stretch machines
Specific Model Numbers
CHT Models (make a 2,4,6,8 head machine)
Has 400mm spacing on all machines
Use CH400A brackets
12×11 will work at this spacing
CHT-W Models can move arms to 500mm
Use CH400A and TJ500
Most likely can do 12×15 w/TJ500
MT Series
MT1501 and MT1502
Newer MT1501 and 1502 (2020 to present versions) are coming with CH400A, 500, and 600
Older MT1501 and MT1502 before 2020.
They both use TJ brackets at the 360,500, and 600 spacing.
Can do 13×16 at the TJ600 spacing
425×16 sleeve hoop is offset. Suggest 425×13.
Can do a 10×19 at TJ600 spacing.

RCM1201-PT: Cust only had a 360 and 600 spacing. The machine is about 8 years old.
Also 1501PT in France could only do 360 and 600 TJ brackets
120XC multi head in France confirmed 400a
New 10 needle, we made brackets for the same hoops as the PR.
all brackets will be 436mm or 17.165 since the machine doesn’t recognize the hoop size.
