Roland, I use the clamp for the front only. You will be surprised ( I was ) at how much grip it has. Have not had any issues. On the backs I use the double height wooden hoops. Can be frustrating to get them hooped at times but one must "endeavor to persevere". Herb Royal Embroidery ----- Original Message ----- From: "Roland R.
