Just a heads up when using sticky backing... I just did a lettering job with large letters down the sleeve of a sport jacket. I used my fast frame sleeve frame with self stick backing. Everything was OK until the last letter on the second sleeve. The thread kept breaking. Other times I have seen little rings of glue on the needle from the sticky backing, so I ran my fingers down the needle to see if I could feel anything. It was smooth, but the thread continued to break. I took out the needle and noticed that while the outside of the needle was clean, the front groove was totally gunked! Ran an old needle down the groove a few times and put it back in. No more problem! David Sklar Ballyhoo!
