Upon hooping and sewing out a design on a garment, when I remove the hoop, there is always a scuff mark left behind. I always get it off, however by using a scrubbing brush and elbow grease. I would really like an answer to this annoying occurence. Life would be much easier if I could omit that brushing step...I realize the hoop may be "to tight", but if I hoop it more loose, the hoop sometimes separates from the garment leaving me with an unfixable sew out. The mark is not dirt as such, just a lighter in color scuff caused by friction. Any solutions? I have tried masking tape around the periphery of the hoop, but the scuff remains Thanks for any help you might be able to pass along...! =========================================================== The AmayaUsers Mailing List Website: http://www.amayausers.com Discussion Board: http://www.amayausers.com/boards Subscribe/Unsubscribe: http://www.amayausers.com/list ===========================================================
