Looking for the best Melco embroidery hoops? Choose only Allied Grid-Lock Melco hoops, reputed worldwide for their patented features, best quality & top value!
By using the patented built-in alignment grid lines & other features of Allied Grid-Lock hoops, you too can prevent garment rejections due to mis-aligned embroidery, as thousands of other embroiderers do every day! You will save lots of money in the long run, significantly more than a possible small price difference for Allied hoops compared to competitors' lower quality, plain hoops without alignment grid lines! Allied Grid-Lock hoops are available in a standard version (AGL / AGLC) and a premium version (PAGL).
Allied also offers a large variety of commercial-grade wood embroidery hoops. Their naturally grained surface texture provides a notably superior grip when hooping a wide range of fabrics ‒ slippery, thin or thick. Double Height (DH) wooden hoops are extra tall providing additional fabric gripping power. Allied Wood and Grid-Lock hoops are chosen by leading embroidery machine suppliers worldwide to include with their new machines!
Magnetic Mighty Hoops for Melco make hooping very easy. There is no need to adjust the outer ring as the hoop holds the garment with magnetic force and automatically adjusts for different thicknesses. They also reduce the stress on your wrists and hands because they want to pull themselves together. Even for thick garments, there is very little pressure needed to apply to the hoop. Hoop burn is greatly reduced because of the way the hoop holds the fabric. Mighty Hoops are designed to work with HoopMaster hooping aids for easy and accurate hooping.
Melco embroidery machine hoops are available in a wide range of hoop sizes. They fit most Melco embroidery machine models, including the following series: Amaya XT, Amaya XTS, Bravo, EMT (EMT16, EMT16 PLUS), & more.
Note: Specific hoop compatibility depends on the machine Sewing Field (SF) size or its Arm Spacing (AS) distance and the length of hoop holding arms. Always check these specs for your embroidery machine before ordering Melco hoops.
Additional Money Saving Tip: If your machine has multiple Arm Spacing (AS) positions, by choosing Allied hoops made to fit the widest AS position, you would help avoid the hassle of frequent re-positioning of the arms and thereby eliminate related machine down time as well as technicians' time.

"I've been an 'Allied Girl' for years now! I like the markings on the inside of the hoops. They save me invaluable time especially when hooping shirts with pockets or items I have marked with a pin. It makes it so easy to judge straightness when I can line up the inside of the hoop with the pin. I also use the grids on the hoop when lining them up with the slatwall to judge straightness. To be honest, I don't know how anyone hoops without the grids!!!"

Great Features
"I have purchased other brand hoops in the past but they lacked the grid lines and were not as good quality. The grids on Allied Grid-Lock™ hoops are the best! Registration for straightness is so much easier. I am a very small shop doing mostly custom and high-end custom work. It’s crucial to do it right the first time. Allied hoops help me do so! Without question, I continue to use Allied hoops and recommend them as often as possible."

Saves Me Time & Money
"I currently have 5 Melco Amaya single head machines & one 2-head Tajima machine. As I built my business and added more machines, I chose to purchase additional Allied Grid-Lock hoops because of the built-in grid lines and the textured finish which increases their fabric grip. The grid markings are absolutely the most valuable tool I use every day. It saves me time lining up names opposite from the left chest logo. I do not like spending money to replace shirts and these cut the alignment issues out of the equation, saving me hundreds of dollars!"

Great Value
"The first embroidery hoops (non-Allied brand) that we used were too smooth and they did not have markings on them. Our second machine came with Allied Grid-Lock™ hoops with the reference markings on them. Wow, they make it so much easier to check for proper hoop placement! It also easier to center the frame on the machine with the raised dot on top of the hoop. When we needed to add more hoops for our machine #3, I found Allied was the only brand with the grid on them and the cost difference was not much over the cheaper brands, making them a great value!"
Gary B. from Rock Ranch Embroidery in Sandy, OR
Superior Fabric Grip
"We are technicians and trainers for a major embroidery machine company. Allied hoops are built stronger and more precise than any other hoop on the market today. The raised markings on Allied Grid-Lock™ hoops are such a time saver and easy to use for alignment and the grip is nice and tight. There is not a hoop out there to compare to them! The quality of Allied Grid-Lock™ plastic and wooden hoops is second to none. They glide onto our machines so smoothly and are incredibly well built. Allied is a company I place at the top of the list for quality and professionalism!"
Sharon S. from Embroidery Cottage in Star, ID
Best Quality Hoops
"We have been using Allied Grid-Lock hoops for many years and we find them much more accurate to hoop with. I wasn't sure if we needed the premium adjustment screw but now we can't be without them. They add that extra bit of opening that now allows us to hoop bulkier jackets and other heavy fabrics. I have a mix of experienced and inexperienced embroiderers. Both groups have benefited from the grid markings found on these hoops. Embroidery customers don't appreciate perfection, they expect it. These hoops certainly help to achieve that. I will be replacing all of my hoops with better quality Allied hoops."
