Two nights ago I sewed shirt front left, and placing the round unit under the shirt with backing was really quick. Inserting and aligning the top 1/2 was super easy. I was very pleased/impressed. Last night production was for a larger back design, in which I had to use a square back hoop (14x11 or so). This is a different animal to hoop! I used strips of blue masking tape to hold the larger backing in place, then slid the large inner hoop inside the shirt, straightened the inner hoop, then placed the outer hoop into position, sometimes twice or three times to get it straight. In short, I was not able to hoop the next garmets as fast as the next machine was done sewing. It was certaintly an exercise in hooping. Is this an instance where a "all-in-one" type of hooper speeds up the processs (square hoops)? For the shirt fronts, it was simple/fast to use the round tubular hoops. For the larger square it was more difficult to get it right. Or, I guess I could jus buy the next sizes of "round" hoops such that I don't have to align the inner hoop too.
