Hello, Juli in Kona has just posted in the Embroidery / How Do I? forum of AmayaUsers Discussion Boards under the title of Hoopers and hooping. This thread is located at http://www.amayausers.com/discussion/showthread.php?5740-Hoopers-and-hooping Here is the message that has just been posted: *************** I made my own Hooper out of 2 nylon cutting boards with a cross hair laser. It works very well. I can change the type and/or size of hoop by changing (making) a new top and bottom bracket to hold the hoop in place. To mark the center of a design on a shirt, I use a leftover peice of carrier mylar (plastic with sticky - I have tons of this stuff!), draw a cross on it and stick that on the shirt. Then I line up the laser to my marker and slap on the top of the hoop. PERFECTLY lined up.
