[amayausers] Re: Gator type embroidery hoops

The yellow 'clamp' hoops are made for Melco by Hooptech...you can  
order them direct from Melco and NOT pay extra for the 'conversion'  
bar or something. We almost ordered from Hooptech until they suddenly  
showed up in the new Melco catalog. Limited use-you cannot use them  
on hooded shirts, back of anything, etc. because there is no place  
for the 'excess' material (like the hood) to go...and if you have a  
problem with a sewout-like a birdsnest underneath or something-you  
cannot take the garment off and put it back on.
But for polos, shirts, blankets,, even hat backs-and especially TOTE  
bags and christmas stockings, wow!
Get them from Melco, and the last upgrade I got for the Amaya OS has  
all the hoop info built in.
The system is expensive, so is almost any gadget for the Amaya...but  
it does work. Hooptech has two 'sizes' of master frame assembly, and  
then different sizes of the clamps in each. Same idea as the fast  
frame system, but now you get a 'clamp' to hold stuff down.
Always, ALWAYS, ALWAYS do a trace first with this system-to make sure  
you have the right hoop selected, and to make sure your garment won't  
pull or shift before you start!
