Aaron, I recall talking with a customer who knocked her needle case off her Amaya like this and the Hoop tech people said there was nothing they could/would do and Melco wasn't in a very giving mood either. Seems the 3rd party technicians are the best folks to call if this happens. Better have a phone number handy. If there are any other technicians that are interested in my experience with this situation, feel free send me an e-mail.

I have not used my fast frames since I bought this. I use my AMAYA's for contract production work so I have never had the need to use a clamping system on the AMAYA and besides that I have my EMT's on higher stands so they are easier to do the "specialized embroidery" jobs on. I do know that no matter what machine you use these on they are 3rd party so you MUST be very careful when using them. I have tore up a few needle bars on my EMT with them doing stupid things :) Aaron Sargent The Linen Barn linen@xxxxxxxxxxx Medford, Oregon ----- Original Message ----- From: "rodswen" <rodswen@xxxxxxxxxxx> To: "amayausers" <amayausers@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Saturday, June 18, 2005 5:23 PM Subject: [amayausers] Hooptech clamping system > Hello, > > I seem to remember a while back there was a discussion of Hooptech clamp > systems on AMAYA. > I have searched for it, but I am unable to locate it. > > Does anyone have info they are willing to share? > > Thanks in advance. > > Rod Swenson > Katbird
