Well, the slim line actually clamps the item in place, and the fast frames have no way of clamping items, so you end up using clips and sticky backing (which I hate using period) to hold stuff in place. Even with that, it's still a pain. I think that's what appeals to me. Because of the way they work, we don't end up using the fast frames hardly at all - except for tote bags. If I had the choice to do it all again (which I wouldn't since the slime line wasn't available back then) I would go with the slim line ;) -----Original Message----- From: amayausers-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:amayausers-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Lisa Griswold Sent: Tuesday, May 09, 2006 10:03 PM To: amayausers@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [amayausers] Re: Slim Line System vs. Fast Frames John, What don't you like about the fast frames? Why are the slim line frames so appealing? I don't know much about what they each can do. Tell me more please!

Gotta wait till cost justifies it. Our fast frames came with the machine.

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!
