I ordered a Hooptech Slim Line Clamp for my Tajima Neo, thinking that the ICTCS was only for multi-head machines, but now I hear of others using the ICTCS with the Tajima Neo.

The ICTCS seems that it would be easier to use since it can be used without removing the machine's arms (whereas the Slim Line seems to need the machine arms removed first).

For those of you with a Tajima Neo, do you prefer the Hooptech Slim Line Clamp or the ICTCS?

Thanks for your help!

I know it's been a while since you posted, but I just saw your question.

I have the slim line. The advantage is that you can keep it on as you turn the machine on and not ruin your machine. For me that works because I know I'm always rushing around and doing stupid things like that. It takes me 3 minutes (if that) to switch back/forth.
If you are the more careful type I would look at what which system has window sizes you would use most and go with that.

Hi Judy,

Thanks for the advice. Actually, I did purchase the Slim Line but then returned it for the ICTCS2. I actually can leave it on since the needles do not hit the clamp when the machine turns on. It does seem a bit cumbersome to get fabric into and out of it, but it certainly makes hooping backpacks easier! Thanks again!

I use Fast Frames and it does a great job with backpacks and you don't have to worry about where "extra material" goes as much since you don't have a clamp to come down on it.

Hi Diane,
That's interesting. I have the SlimLine2 for my Neo and have been considering getting the smaller size.
So if I get the ICTCS it won't hit the needle bars when I turn the machine on???? That's great news! Thanks.

Hi Judy,

I have the ICTCS II and a NEO II, and no, it does not hit when I turn the machine on.
