For sleeves I used the Fast Frames Sleeve/Leg 4.5" X 11" hoop. Part # 15672. Melco Mart has it in their catalog for $110. Maggie ----- Original Message ----- From: Roland R. Irish III To: amayausers@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Sent: Friday, December 07, 2007 1:35 PM Subject: [amayausers.com] Re: Hooping Question Until I stopped doing Carhart's and switched to Sanmar work jacket, we had to split the bottom hem to slide the largest wood frame up inside. Then pay a seamstress $7.50 or so to sew it back up after we were done. Sanmar has the zipper for that purpose, and also no center seam to break needles. Never have done jacket sleeves-have always refused them because of the difficulty in trying to hoop them. For breast (pocket) areas, the speed frame clamp system works good with extra 'wedge' clamps to hold everything tight. Get all excess jacket-sleeves, back, whatever up on the table-don't let anything hang down or the weight will screw things up.
