newbee needs advise

[bnap]

I started in my home on June 4th, with a new XT. WHAT A RUSH!! [img]smile.gif[/img]

I just received a request to do some western shirts with their logo on back, (no problem) names over a pocket, (also no problem) and the word "COMMITTEE" down the long sleeve. This is a problem because I don't know how to do it.

Can anyone help me?

Yep - melco sells a sleeve hoop. Get it [img]smile.gif[/img] It works very well similarly to the fast frames but the bad news is, because of buying the hoop, you aren't going to make much on this job...

Gonna move this to the "how do I" forum.

The Fast Frame sleeve hoop is a great solution. Just beware of when it starts to sew toward the end closest to you. Because of the flagging, the edge could start banging the footplate (happened to me before). I bought the small table and use it for projects just like this. Another option, is to open the sleeve seam and embroider, then sew the sleeve back. If you're a sewer (which I am) this is simple. If not, the sleeve frame is the way to go.
