Dianne: We've used Fast Frames quite a bit for everything under the sun. I'm not sure what a Bucket Hat is but if you're having problems with the regular hat hoop, I'd suggest trying a Fast Frame. I got a bunch of different size clamps (over grown clothes pins), especially the smaller ones, from Homer Depot and we use them on everything where we think it might try to jump off! After using the regular WACF for the hat front, we switch to the Fast Frames for names, etc., on other parts of the hats. In fact, we just ran 12 hats and 6 visors last night that way! We try not to use the sticky paper (have you ever tried to remove stitches after using that stuff?) and just clamp, clamp, clamp! Be careful on the bigger clamps because they'll start hitting the needle case, etc. If you have any MOORE questions, just hollar! Thanks! Thomas E.

Org Subject: [amayausers] Bucket hats I know that this has been brought up in the past, but I am trying to embroider on a Bucket Hat. Any suggestions on how to hoop? I have tried my WACF and doesn't seem to clamp right. Thanks in advance.
