The HoopTech and the Slimline sytems are primarily one and the same. I a= m
not sure exactly where Sharon bought ours but we have both the smaller ve=
rsion and the larger jacket back version. i do know that Melco sells them a=
nd has them on their website and in their catalog. Sharon purchased the jac=
ket back version just to do a bunch of Carhart coats with, and found out ve=
ry quickly that it would not work. There is not enough room at the top of t=
he clamp for the excess material regardless if the jacket is right side up =
or upside down and you can;t get a large design low enough  to center = it
onthe jacket back.......bummmer!!!! Left chests designs work fine as yo= u
can turn the design sideways and insert the zipper side of the coat in , =
clamp, and sew.=0D 

They have worked great on everything else we have tried. On larger items= we
use extra little alligator clamps to help hold the garment in the clamp=
jawsto keep them from slipping.....other than that we have found them to =
bea very useful tool to add to our inventory.....=0D 

As mentioned before, taping regular backing to the fast frames or bendin= g
the front edge of the backing as Roland described and then using small al=
ligator or simular low profile clamps, works well in place of the sticky ba=
cking on the fast frames. The more tech work I perform, the more I find mys=
elf shying away from sticky sprays and/or the use of sticky backings .=
MaybeI shouldn't say this but I believe the new XT Amayas do not like&nbs=
p;and or are less compatible to the use of these sticky compounds then the=
older Amayas. The sticky can build up on the knife, thread selector and ro=
tary hook and cause some serious trimming problems. So, I guess my advice i=
s to use them only when absolutely nothing else will work in their place...=

=0D Can someone give me s= ome input as to which clamp system you would
recommend and why??? I have tw= o Amaya XT machines and am looking for a way
of possibly getting away from = using sticky backing when I am doing hard to
hoop items. Has anyone ever fo= und anything that will not work on the clamp
system???

Thanks!

Then google for "ICTCS1" or "ICTCS2" to find a likely vendor.
