I am thinking of buying the fast frames. I am still a rookie and trying to figure out how they would work. Is there anywhere on the web that has instructions that show how they actually work. How you would hoop diffrent items.
Thanks all

Re: Question on the Fast Frames
The Fast Frames site has some instructions: http://www.fastframes.com/instuctions.htm . Fast frames are very easy to use. You shouldn't have any problems. They are well worth the cost.

Re: Question on the Fast Frames
I own two sets of Fast Frames for my EMP6's. They're great! I don't use sticky stabilizer though because it gums up the needles. I use two sided tape on the edges to hold the item in place then I use small clamps I got from Home Depot to place along the edges and secure the item down. This way I can use cut away or tear away stabilizer and not have to deal with the mess and expense of sticky stabilizer.
I've dealt with Fast Frames several times over the past few years. They're located in Colville, Washington and are fantastic to deal with on the phone. Very, very patient and helpful. They have tons more frames from what you usually see on line. Best of all, if you have a specific item, they'll help you decide which frame to use and you can buy just that frame without having to buy a set. I could only find the extra arm for the EMP6 in a kit. I called Fast Frames and she said, "Certainly, we can sell you the arm alone without the other hoops!"
They ship extremely fast too! So if I have a job that needs to be done yesterday and don't need a special frame I don't have on hand. I know Fast Frames will ship it to me now.
I quit buying items (thread etc) from Melco because of their poor customer service and lack of support. I'm in the process of moving to Hemmingworth thread from Arc thread because of their wonderful support.
I know there are other frames out there similar to Fast Frames but I'll stick with them because of the wonderful help they've given me.
