A lot of jacket companies do this now so you can embroidery the outer shell only instead of through the lining. Each company calls it something different. The down side is you can not use a hooper to align your design. You must hand hoop it and sew the design sideways. (At least with Dunbrooke jackets anyways.) Be careful that your design isn't a little crooked when it sews out.

Almost all of the jackets through Sanmar have a 'hidden' zipper either in
the armpit, bottom hem, or both. You unzip it, slide your backing and hoop
inside, then clamp it down and sew away! Great on the 'carhart' style farm
jacket-doesn't affect the lining at all. I don't know if anyone else makes
their jackets this way. We had a couple Carhart jackets a customer brought
in, and he paid to have us tear out the bottom seam, sew them out, then take
to a seamstress to have the hem resewn. He didn't want the quilting messed
up. Since then he has bought only the Sanmar line.

Hi all.  I have heard about the lining saver system for jackets.  I have no
clue what it is, or how to go about hooping the jacket but not the lining.
Any "clues" for the clueless would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks!
Judy
