1. A method of fabricating a radio-frequency (RF) coil assembly of a magnetic resonance (MR) system using a sewing machine, comprising:
providing a sewing accessory assembly, the sewing accessory assembly including a substrate holder, the substrate holder including:
an inner hoop;
one or more coil loop supports configured to be coupled with the inner hoop and be positioned within the inner hoop; and
an outer hoop;
coupling an RF coil loop with one of the one or more coil loop supports;
assembling a substrate with the substrate holder by:
securing the substrate between the inner hoop and the outer hoop;
coupling the assembled substrate holder with a sewing machine; and
assembling an RF coil assembly by:
sewing stitches to attach the RF coil loop with the substrate.
