Good morning, everyone! Yesterday I got a great deal on a bunch of thread, backing, and a hoopmaster from a small company going out of business for health reasons. Problem is the fixture for the hoopmaster is for a tajima machine. What do I need to order? Just the fixture for my machine? Does the t-square and pocket alignment quide work w/ all the fixtures or do I have to buy them for the amaya fixture? Any ideas on how to sell the tajima fixture? Where would I get the best price on the new fixture? Thanks for your help! Dianne

You just need to buy the fixture for your Amaya. You may consider selling the entire setup and then buy a new Hoopmaster for the Amaya.
I know it sounds crazy, but you get a better price when you buy a Hoopmaster and multiple fixtures at the same time rather than just the fixtures.
Price it out and see.
Ebay is a sure bet for unloading the Hoopmaster and or just the Tajima fixtures. You can also list it at embroidery trader. You won't have any problems selling the parts you don't want.
T-square is universal, but not sure about the pocket guide. It is made to fit the hoop precisely, so if there is even a little deviation in hoop diameters it may not work.
Take the pocket guide and set in on the top hoop frame (with the arms) and make sure that it seats without any top-to-bottom slip. It can spin on the hoop, but you don't want any slip top-to-bottom or left-to-right.
If it works, just saved $40 for a new one. I wouldn't be without one either. You definitely want one for your 15 cm hoop and possibly for the 12 cm hoop. Makes lining up pockets, sleeves, hatbacks a breeze.
As far as pricing on hoopmaster fixtures, don't go to hoopmaster. I bought from a company in North Carolina and they had a better price. Try

Thanks! I looked at embroiderysupplies.com--I think you may be right about buying a complete new one. That company is in NC; so am I, so shipping should not be too incredibly much. DianneComment
