[amayausers] Re: Pocket topper hooping

Good evening, 
I hope no one is upset here, but I am changing the subject to material 
thickness.  I have been using my new Amaya for just one week and am not sure I 
am using the correct number for a light denim shirt with a very thin nylon mesh 
backing.  The design is Zundt lace and could be a bit too dense with short 
stitches.  I set it at 4 but have had lots of breaks throughout the 68 thousand 
stitch design.  What's weird is the design was half done before the breaks 
started occuring.  I changed the needle, which helped somewhat.  I guess my 
question is what number would you pick for a light denim shirt.  While I'm at 
it, what number do you pick for a polo or sweatshirt with nylon mesh backing 
and solvy topping?  THanks, newbie Debra from Indiana

  Thanks Ron, 
     I guess I should have explained that it's a polo style sport shirt (for a 
teacher-Math tools sticking out of the pocket, and it has to be just right for 
the compass to hang down on the left side.)  Will the tape trick work for this? 
 As I said, I'm spatially hopeless.  (I teach 9 year olds all day...I have an 
excuse!) I'm only the "Computermaster" around here.   "Hoopmaster" Bessie will 
read this in the morning and give it a whirl.
