It is nice to be on the list and getting some responses! Thanks for your
encouragement- we will be attending the training as soon as possible.
As per my other posts, we are using the HoopTech ICTCS1 Clamping system,
which actually holds the item in the machine for embroidery, not just for
getting it hooped. It works well after you have it set up- we are still
getting used to a LOT of new stuff/capabilities!
