Hey guys,
        I haven't experienced this as a problem yet but a customer of mine 
has...
What are the tricks to reducing gumming on the needles when doing small
lettering using sticky backing???
        I would think it has to do with the grade of sticky backing.  I'm going 
to
bring this customer a sample of what we use to see if this doesn't fix his
problem.
        I think I recall someone saying to place something on top of the 
garment -
like maybe solvy or saran wrap?  Not sure.  I just ran six hats last night,
designs on both sides using sticky backing and fast frames and didn't have
any gumming issues.
        (It's got to be the backing.)
Thanks,
