We use the "HydroStick" backing from www.mescoltd.com for our fastframes.
FAR less trouble with gummy needles. They will send you some samples for
free.

John,
I forgot to address your other two questions.
Sticky backing for Fast Frames... we only buy the good stuff from
"FastFrames.com". We tried some generic stuff once and it wasn't worth the
time, effort, or cost savings.
Melco does offer Square hoops. They are in the specialty hoop section of
their Melco Mart catalog.
I think they have 3", 4" and 5" sizes but I'd have to check to be sure.
They cost about the same as the round hoops - $32 bucks a piece. In fact,
if I had known this myself at the time, I would have liked to have ordered
these with the last Amaya I bought instead of the round hoops. I don't have
any experience with square hoops but I could imagine where they would come
in handy.

It's time to restock the ship with backing and I'd thought I'd post before I
order.
We do a lot of polos and tshirts. The more I have gotten into the business,
the more I look at the way others do things. I have noticed on Pique and
T-shirts most everything is double backed. We even embroidered some names
on sweatshirts today that had been done by someone else and even they were
double backed.
So, my questions...
When do you double back things (if you do) and what kind and weight backing
do you use? Tear Away, Cut Away?
Who is the best Supplier for backing. We need some Cut Away, Solvy and
Sticky Backing for the fast frames we got with the amaya? Who has the best
product (most important) at the most reasonable prices?
On the Hooping front... My wife and I just cant get used to the round hoops.
Seems we are always getting sew outs slightly slanted. Our brother machine
had square hoops which were easy to line up on polos. Is there some trick
someone has, or will a hooping device solve the issue?
Thanks as always for the great advice. I am learning a ton.
