You can help with the sticky back problems by laying a piece of waxed
paper over the top of your sewing area...has worked for us when we
start having problems on some garments that fast frames are being use
with.......

Subject: [amayausers] Hat Backs
I have been reading some of the talk about hat backs. Maybe I am
naive to what the problems are but I am really curious about what
several of you are encountering. Here is the scoop.
When I purchased my Amayas I did not like the WACF hat
frames............but determined myself to get use to them. I
embroider all my hats with them AND the hat backs. The
only issues that seem to come up is when doing the hat back I
watch to see that the bill of the hat is not hitting on the AMAYA
table and throw registration off.
Also, in order to get the right curve for the hat back (for the
traditional style w/ opening in the back).......I digitize on
screen (usually lettering).....give it my best "eyeball judgement
of a curve"..........print out a paper copy.......cut it
out........check the curve on the hat........make
adjustments.......print out a paper copy again. Most of the time
I get it on the second try.
I also determined myself not to use any thing that has the word
"sticky back" in it. TEE HEE! I actually have come to like the
WACP hat frames. Does this sound crazy?
