Help hooping a softshell jacket

I have a brother Skitch and the magnetic hoop isn’t strong enough to go all the way through this thicker softshell jacket.
I’d float it and pin it but then it’ll leave pin marks..
Can I use binder clips to keep it taught against the hoop?
I’ve already ruined a jacket so 🥴

If it's just one color and a simple design sticky stabilize it. If not I would send it off as to not mess up anymore.

Use the jacket you already ruined for the test. Make sure your digitizing is on point and it shouldn't be a problem

Luckily it was an $18 Amazon jacket which is acrually quite nice 😬
