I find that the yellow clamping system is the ultimate solution to "close to
the edge" designs. Using the smallest frame possible, figure out the center
of where the design is going on the sleeve and mark it. Now hold the backing
against the sleeve and carefully slip it in until the edge of the sleeve (I use
the sew line as a guide) is lined up with the furthest edge of the clamp and
your center mark is matching the center mark on the clamp and close the clamp.
I make sure all edges are clamped. Position the center of the design to sew
near the edge but missong the edge. Because the hoop has no height, you can
get the needle closer to the back edge the a regular hoop. Once set, you won't
have to reset again. Changig shirts is very fast. While one shirt is sewing,
lline up the backing on the next shirt. I sit at my machine, and take out the
finished shirt onto my lap, grab the next shirt at the edge of the sleeve,
making sure the backing is lined up with the edge an
d slip it in.
Believe me, after doing 10 shirts, this will become a very fast proceedure.
You can get a design closer to the edge with a clamp with the lineup perfect
every time than you can with a regular hoop. Call me if you want to talk.
