There are several 'hoopmaster' systems that have a jig to hold the hoop and backing in place while you put the garment over it and then press down the top of the hoop. But this is done on a separate table or counter, not on the machine. The speedframe system is a 'clamp' system, and has limited use on clothing because there is no place for excess material to go-like trying to hoop the back of a garment-can't be done. Or chest pocket of sweatshirt. But for zipper front or button front, it's great. We set the shirts on our teeshirt printer platen and mark with tailor's chalk, then slide it on the speedframe for fast sewing. =========================================================== The AmayaUsers Mailing List Website: http://www.amayausers.com Discussion Board: http://www.amayausers.com/boards Subscribe/Unsubscribe: http://www.amayausers.com/list ===========================================================
