That may be your only option. Make sure you support the bag during stitching
so the bag won't drag the frame down. I'd probably use a slightly bigger
frame than needed so the clamps don't come in contact with the arm as the hoop
moves. It should work. You might want to use backing just in case something
happens and you need to remove the stitches. Slow down the speed a bit too.
Good
Luck!

The bag is high quality lugguage-type material with cotton woven handles and
a nylon pocket which can be moved out of the way. The clamp system won't
allow for the bulk of the bag (zipper, top, handles, etc.) and the bag is not
thin so hooping in a small hoop might be impossible. I'm thinking about my
Fast
Frame with the staple-like clamps and the small table attachment. What are
your thoughts? The monogram is 2" high by 3" wide (approximate).

What's the material? How big a monogram? Are there any straps in the way? Do
you have a clamp system?
If it's nylon with no straps in the way, I would use the smallest circle
hoop with a tear away on top (yes on top). After hooping, cut (or tear
carefully) a window to stitch in. The nylon is stable so won't need any
backing but
the backing on top will help keep the fabric from shifting during the
stitching
process.
