I have a few medium and large "alligator clips" to assist with these hoops.
I mentioned a couple of weeks ago that I purchased them from the Home Cheepo
in the tools department near all the clamps.
I only put the alligator clips on the front of the hoop and am sure to do a
trace before I run the design so that the clips don't interfere with the
thread grabber blade.
Good luck.

What do you do on the 36 x 30 hoop? I have yet to be able to get it taut.
It is a plastic hoop (from Melco) which seems to have to much give. The
larger wooden hoop works much better but I have to change the arms for that.
Is there a better 36 x 30 on the market?

I never use spray adhesive, its too gummy, unless I am doing applique of
course. If you use proper backing and hoop tight enough (not too tight of
course) you should be fine on almost anything. Sharon is right, it just
takes too much time to use.
As far as hooping, I am one of those that just eyeballs everything :)
