Well, from everything that you all have said, Slimline seems to be the favorite. It seems that Fast Frames have their place, too, and considering that the price for the whole set is reasonable, I think I might have to get both! Yikes! Any suggestions on where to buy them? Does anyone discount these? Thanks!

We bought a slimline clamp and I have been amazed as to how often we use it. I usually use cutaway or tearaway clipped to the base and then put my item in place. No sticky backing. Bags, short sleeves, some Christmas stocking work great. We have since bought the small size and several frames as become necessary. They are well worth the price if you can afford them.

Gotta wait till cost justifies it. Our fast frames came with the machine. Just my opinion ;) John Yaglenski President / Chief Executive Officer Levelbest Communications I: www.levelbest.com P: 301.591.2481 / 888.229.1779 F: 501-631-4544 graphic design - active website design - strategic marketing - community websites This e-mail message and any attachments are confidential and may be privileged.

We've just been introduced to Fast Frames and the Slim Line Clamping System. They both look very interesting and useful, but does anyone have any opinion as to which system is better? What are the pros and cons of each? What can and cannot be used in these hoops? It is very tempting to purchase one of these, but prices are high and knowledge is low! Please help!
