teeth of the strap fall just above the stitching attaching the sweat
band. This will help ensure a level sewout.
11. Hook the latch on the strap into the hook on the latch post. You
may need to fold or adjust the sweatband of the cap slightly to
accommodate the hook and latch. At this point, you want to hook
the latch, but not close the latch.
12. The cap frame strap may need to be tightened if it does not t the
cap snugly or loosened should it be too tight to fasten appropri-
ately. This is only necessary when hooping a different style of cap
for the rst time using the cap frame. Subsequent hoopings of that
style should t well after the adjustment.
• To adjust the cap frame strap, loosen the two wing nuts on
the left side of the frame.
