A hooping device for use with an embroidery machine to hold an item or material to be embroidered between upper and lower hooping members, with the hooping members being secured to one another by use of magnetic force is disclosed. The magnets provide a solid, secure mating arrangement between the upper and lower hooping members without the need to adjust the hooping member for different thicknesses of material. The hooping device includes a retaining mechanism to prevent the hooping members from mating prematurely.
