What hoop will work

[Jackie]

I have been asked to embroider numbers onto the front pouch pocket of hooded sweatshirts.
I am not sure which hoop is best. Thinking that it may be time to invest in a fastframe set. I have the small slimline hoop set but don't know if a fastframe will work better. I will have to sew between 18 and 35 of these. Does anyone have any suggestions

Thanks

If the numbers will fit within a regular round hoop, I just hoop them with the handles 90 degrees off, rotated, so the pocket still fits and slides over the bobbin shaft like a tube. Then in the OS, rotate your design to match the correct orientation of the sweathsirt. Easy enough. Use the absolutely smallest hoop that will fit your design, so that the "back" of the pocket is not taut, but a little loose forming the tubular effect required as the machine moves around.
