I looked at all the options of Hooping aids in the UK, and went for the Hoopmaster, best money I've spent over and above the machine that is.

It makes hooping much much easier even jackets are a breeze (for front left logos as well as backs). I bought the full caboodle for the PR600 with my Hoopmaster didn't intent to initially, but now glad I did.
Go get one, you won't regret it.
