Hi Jazmine,

I agree with Jo.  I have the SlimLine 12x12, 12x5, 6.5x5 and 4.5x4.5 frames and 
clamps that work with them.  The clamps are great for bags and heavier things 
but they do not do as well as hooping delicate things because they do not hold 
the backing drum tight.  Frustrated with the SlimLine system when doing some 
baby bibs, I used the Micro Pocket Clamp instead with good results, although 
this too didn't hold the backing as tight as I wanted. 

However, I got the 11x13, 10x10 and 5.5x5.5 Mighty Hoops a couple weeks ago, 
but just got to try the 5.5 hoop out last night.  WOW! is all I have to say.  
It holds the fabric and backing so tight.  I didn't use the Mighty Hoop 
Freestyle hoop frame that came with it.  I just held the top of the hoop over 
the under hoop and poof! they snapped tightly together instantly!  Watch those 
fingers ;-).  I was going to wait to post my comments on the Mighty Hoop until 
I tested the 10x10 and 11x13 hoops too.  If the 10x10 and 11x13 Mighty Hoops 
work as well as my first experience with the 5.5x5.5 (and I think they will 
exceed my expectations), the Mighty Hoops may be the only hooping technique I 
use 90 percent of the time.  There are just a few things that I have to get in 
order after returning from Australia (like waiting for the new Ayama OS CD for 
Windows 7 64-Bit from Melco) before I have time to really work my Amaya XT.  
Last night was the first time I embroidered with it since las
 t October.  So if you can wait, I'll report more later.

Cheers,
Ed "Kanga" Roux
