Very funny!  . . .  I know Fast Frames will make custom sizes and that may 
be my only answer. Entering the dimension into DS is a bit tricky but 
do-able. Thanks for replying.

Get a smaller tote?  LOL....just have to pick on you.

I see your problem-and yes, there is somewhere you can get different
size hoops. Not that I can find the link but someone should be able to 
direct
you to it. You would have to know how to 'enter' the hoop dimensions into
designshop and amaya OS but that isn't too hard I've heard.
I've been in similar dilemma with screenprint jobs, but with that I have
handbuilt screens to oversize and gone from there. Can't build your
own hoop!
If there is a large enough clamp system...maybe it would be advantageous
to get it. I know I certainly could use anything larger than the 6.5 x 5 
window-
I do a lot of totes and would like to be able to do larger images.
But not enough yet to justify another clamp system. Maybe Santa will be
nice to our amaya this year... ;-)

Thanks Roland for your advice and it's well taken. However, the problem is
less with my customer and more with my personally designed totes which
encompass the full front. It's me (the designer/embroiderer) that is trying
to fill the tote.

I'd say it's time to face reality and tell the customer the design
is too large for your equipment...if you can't afford the larger
clamp. There are times when you just can't do something the
way the customer wants! Like sewing ON a pocket of a shirt...
just doesn't happen.
You could always use your largest screen, shrink the design to fit,
and run one off to show the client. I find that embroidered designs
can always be run 25% or so smaller than the same image screenprinted.
And they always look better...so for the hassle, I'd grab a tote (which is
only
a couple of bucks) and run one off to show them the limits you can go to.
Chances are very good they will be happy with it!
And if they insist that they've seen tote bags with full front designs,
explain
that the 'commercial, retail' tote bags, like hats-are embroidered BEFORE
the material is sewn into the tote or hat. It is embroidered as a piece of
flat
material, then cut and sewn in the shape needed. With hats, it's called a
'panel program' and there are a few companies that still do that for small
jobs.
But it usually is how all your massed produced 'brand name' stuff is done.
Less waste, larger image area, better detail, etc.

What does everyone use to hoop or prepare a tote bag for embroidery with a
full side of embroidery? Figure about an 11-inch square? The XT doesn't seem
to have any hoop that fills this need. The tote is too small for the jacket
frame and the design is too large for the 8" hoop. I've been using the Fast
Frame 9x11 but I'm still in need of those extra 2 inches for a square border
around the tote front. The larger clamping system seems to be a good
solution except it may as well be a million dollars because it is not cost
effective for me. I would need two. Any ideas?
