4. Slide the prepared cap onto the cap frame with the visor pointing
up and the frame going inside the cap. Make sure that the sweat-
band is ipped to the outside of the cap.
The sweatband may not touch the vertical ridge of the frame.
That’s okay. Different caps have varying sweatband widths and not
all will appear the same when hooped.
5. The cap and backing should ride over the two posts with teeth on
the sides of the frame.
6. Begin to close the frame. Insert the cap bill into the slot in the cap
frame as you swing the frame closed over the front of the cap.
7. With the frame closed but not latched, adjust the position of the
cap. Center the seam and level the cap as best you can.
8. Gently pull from the back of the cap. This will pull the cap down
and snug against the frame.
9. With slight pressure still being applied to the back of the cap,
• Push down on the end (top) of the bill to seat it against the top
of the cap frame support.
• Push back on the base of the bill to hold it against the plate at
the front of the cap frame.
