Thank you for this video, I was looking for one that would explain clearly how to set up the cap attachment, This video is perfect for what I was looking for. Very well done!
I have been struggling with my caps for months! Not once have I seen instructions for how to make the adjustments with the Allen keys! It has completely changed everything! I was ready to sell my cap setup!
This video is the best I have seen yet. I have a PR-650 Entrepreneur and the hat hoop. I was able to do one hat flawlessly. I tried on another hat, I think it is called a trucker hat, and once I got it on the machine and hit the trace button the part of the frame holding the brim hits the machine and causes the frame to dislodge. What am I doing wrong? Can you please help me figure out what the problem is? Thank you so much for any information or advice you an offer.
That's an interesting one. Can't say that I've had it happen, may just be because I haven't done a cap like the one you're describing. Maybe it has something to do with the proportions of the cap? I would try re-framing the cap and make sure that the brim is properly secured with the "cake tin" looking holder and make sure the brim of the cap goes between the gap in it. If you still struggle you may have to adjust the cap frame slightly. there should be three screws on the left hand side of the "cake tin" flappy part. Don't remove the screws, but loosen them and see if you can make the cap fit any better than it already does. Also, ensure that the frame is mounted to the machine properly, as there is a third plastic wheel at the bottom that needs to be engaged when putting it onto the machine, unlike on the cap mounting part. Let me know how you get on.
Hi Rachel, Just put the wide cap frame on, followed the book and watched your video but still getting a popping noise and broke 2 needles, any advice - thanks
Hey! There is always a sort of hollow noise to some extent when embroidering caps. What this sounds like to me is an issue with the type of needle possibly, it could need to be a thicker needle as maybe the cap is too thick for your current needles. Alternatively the cap could have some sort of reinforcement that is causing issues! If it isn't either of these issues then without seeing it I'm a little unsure, I'm afraid. Let me know how you get on!
Hi, we're always looking for what people want to see and will look into doing this for sure! We may be able to do it this year, but more likely it will have to be posted in the new year! We'll try our best though.
I've been in the business for a few years as well as an avid sewer/embroiderer, which definitely helps. So the answer is, I'm not sure exactly, but a while, haha. (If you mean just the cap frame specifically, then just an afternoon, it's not too hard when you get used to it!)
Any advice/suggestions on how to embroider close to the brim of the cap? Bottom corners are the latest trend. The closest I can get or that the machine will allow, is about 1 1/8”. I have an Entrepreneur Pro X PR1055X
I believe that there are other cap frames available from brother. It may be the case that these would give you the ability to embroider closer to the brim, however I have no personal experience with these. The flat brim looks promising, but you may have to look at examples of the work done here on UA-cam to see if it fits your needs. Sorry I couldn't be of more help.
Hey! Do you mean to say that the machine isn't aware of the frame being attached? If so, it could be attached incorrectly (if it is attached correctly, it could be a sensor issue with your machine). As for the flexing of the cap, that doesn't sound normal either, it could be the type of cap that you're using. I've never had any issues like that personally, I would just try again from scratch with a different cap and see if anything changes.
There are 3 different types of cap frame. The one we have here if the standard 'cap frame', there also exists the 'wide cap frame' as well as the 'flat brim cap frame'. You probably have one of the latter two.
One of the best video on step-by-step installation and usage of the cap frame. Thanks for making this video and Keep up the great work :)
This is one of the best videos on how to use this frame for my machine. Thank you for your step by step directions.
You're very welcome! Glad it was useful for you!
Thank you soooo much! I couldn't find any videos to help set up my new hat hoop but you answered all my questions and more. Best on youtube!
Thank you too! That's really kind of you, really glad that it helped out! ☺

Thank you too, for the kind words! Glad it was helpful!
Thank you so much I haven't touched mine in years and now I feel confident in what to do.
You can do it! It's daunting to look at, but when you know how it's not scary at all!
Great video, so well explained, even better than Brother´s Tutorials. It was very helpful, thanks a lot!

Hey!
Thank you so much! If there's anything you'd like to see just let us know and we'll see what we can do!
There is a white plastic piece on the back of the jig on top, Is that supposed to be lined up with the center line of the frame?
Good video thanks
you forgot the little black needle buster
thank you thank you thank you!

@@SewingMachines_UK Thanks i'll have another go at it with different needles,
Any chance of a tutorial on putting a cap on the wide cap frame?

how many years did you study to learn this?

I struggle with registration at times and the constant flexing of the shape of the hat so I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong?

THANKYOU VERY STRAIGHT FORWARD AND SLOW, SOME PEOPLE GO SO FAST YOU CANT KEEP UP
this cap frame and driver causes trouble installing the cap frame on the driver, as it rubs against the plastic behind the needles
What is the name of this cap hoop. I have this embroidery machine but my cap hoop is different. Tia

Was ist das für ein Stück Papier?
