I have the fast frames and I do use them. I do not use sticky backing
though. I have several different size clamps that I use.
The fast frame I use the most is the 6" Radius for cap backs. I find that is
works very nicely for that.
I have used the smaller rectangle for a couple of pocket jobs that I did and
was satisfied with the result.

As for small items that you can't hoop in a regular hoop, would the clamping system work or is it better to just use sticky paper with a regular hoop?

Dean,
I bought and use the 7n1 fast frames. For some of the things I do that WAS my only choice. I do not like the sticky backing as it really gums up the needles. When using the fast frames, I usually use clamps or clips to hold the item. If I were buying something NOW where there IS a choice I would probably pick the clamping system as it seems it should do the job without the backing issue. Remember though I have not tried the clamping system.

Dean, I'm going to own up here. I bought the fast frames and frankly find them
pretty much a waste of money. While there have been a few projects they did make easier, after some experience I could have done them without the fast frames. The adhesive is not strong enough to hold much of anything. If I had
it to do over I would have gone for a clamping system.

On this subject,
I have the chance to get either the Fast Frame hooping system - the one where you use sticky paper or the Hooptec clamping system.
Can anyone give me some feedback on one over the other?
Thanks

Anyone seen and/or using the Hooptec slim line clamping system on the Amaya? From what info I've recieved it has a lower profile than the regular hooptech and the Melco hooping clamp so it won't run into the presser foot and needle head? Roland
