[amayausers] Re: Hoops and sequin attachment info

Hi Jan,
We purchased the clamping system both in the small sizes as well as the 
larger size (with the intent of the small one for left chest on jackets and 
testing designs and the larger one for jacketbacks).  We use the small one 
all the time but have found that the large one certainly is not good for 
jacketbacks--no place for the excess fabric to go inside the clamping 
system.  I can see it being used for towels, etc. but not jackets.
