I really like the Fast Frames for my window treatment designs and items that
really need to be adhered to stabilizer. I have the Melco table that
attaches to the Amaya and I find that using the table and FF clips, I get
awesome results. I can embroider about 8 handkerchiefs in one "hooping" with
the FF. Just adhere a corner of each one and flip over and out of the way
when done. Then move the head to the next center mark.
The Slim Line Clamping System had its benefits too. A little more bulky and
limiting in terms of getting into small pockets on totes, etc. I was
thinking of the larger size for jacket backs. Anyone use them?
What I'd like to find is something in the 10x10 size (11x11 hoop) for heavy
items. Any ideas where to look?

Robert, and Debbie...we got the Slimline clamps (identical to the ones from
the manufacturer, by the way-but melco sells them WITH the adaptor for
Amaya-the 'other guys' don't. AND buy them from Melco and you don't void
warranty if something happens-and the techs will help you with problems.)
Okay, fastframes...except for 1 or 2 that have spoken up, everyone that has
gone with speedframes got rid of their fastframes. Period. Unless you have a
specialty item that only the fastframe works on-you won't use it. Backpacks
are too bulky and heavy for fastframe and the adhesive backing won't hold
them.
Slim line frames...yup, very restrictive on how to hoop stuff-no place for
'excess' material to go. BUT if you are doing above the pocket area, or name
on right, logo on left of jackets, just turn the jacket AND logo 90
degrees-and clamp it 'in' from the zipper edge! It will work fine for you! I
take an 'artist's triangle (clear plastic) and line that up on the zipper
'hemline' and make a chalk mark perfectly perpendicular to the zipper, mark
with a ruler where I want the 'center' of the name or logo, and then have
masking tape on the top clamp hoop with pen marks to match for lineup. Quick
'trace' to make sure, then sew away!
It is so darn easy that way! And just did a couple kids backpacks for back
to school, lined up right on the money for placement on decorative trim, or
whatever-and also did the nylon 'lunchbox' that matched, and even managed to
clamp and get the snout into a nylon pencil bag the little girl's pack came
with!
