Hoop Master or Fast Frames

Just a question. We currently own a set of the fast frames, and have just purchased another swf machine.
Our dilemma is what do we need to buy.

#1. Do other people "really" use these. Like enough to get your money back?

#2. I know fast frames are "fast" and the hoop master is easy, but which is the better bang for your buck.

;) Two completely different items. Both items are a valuable addition to anyone's business and setup. Of the two IMO the HoopMaster would be much more important and useful. Fast frames are a nich item as are the ICTS frames. They fill a need on specific items and can be modified to be used for more than one or two situations. I can live without the frames but the HoopMaster is essential.. ;)

Hoopmaster hands down.

I have the Fast Frames and use them just about every month. The Hoopmaster gets used EVERY day I'm open.:D

The Hoopmaster is great for multiple pieces like shirts, scarves, jackets...but I could not live without Fast Frames. I used them every single day and very seldom used the stock frames. Worth every, single dime you pay for them.

As I recall when I purchased these items a set of Fast Frames was about one fifth of the price of the Hoop Master so I wouldn't directly compare the two items but I think both are essential unless you have a niche where you only do heavy bags and never embroider polos or jackets. With the Hoop Master you have straight accurate logo placement no matter who is doing the hooping from job to job. No measuring, no crooked designs. You'll save time and look better. Fast Frames are great for hard to hoop items like bags, hat backs, sleeves, pant legs and working around zippers. Both items can probably be purchased at "show price" (reduced price during a trade show). If I had to choose between the two I'd get the hooper and purchase the frames when you have a job that needs them.

We got Fast Frames thrown in with our SWF machine for no additional charge.

We purchased the HoopMaster system.

They are two totally different things and serve completely different purposes.
