Roland,
You are right on with the Hoop Tech clamping system. I use ours on a pretty
regular basis anymore. I find it very useful in testing designs that I an
digitizing because of the ease in hooping the test materials.
The one comment that you made about birdnesting and not being able to take
the garment off the machine.......aaaaah, there is a way, I have had to do
it once already. Although you certainly don't want to remove the garment out
of the clamping system and loose the registration, just carefully take the
whole clamping system off of the machine with the garment still in it. It is
only held on to the carriage by two screws......convenient....no, but if
there is a will there is a way......
