Using the Cap Frame

By using the cap frame, patterns can be embroidered onto caps and hats. The procedures for using the cap 
frame are described below.

Cap frame and its accessories

The cap frame driver and the mounting jig are required in order to use the cap frame.

Memo

Before installing the cap frame, be sure to adjust the ring of the cap frame driver and the height of 
the L-shaped bracket. (If the same machine is being used, this adjustment is only required the first 
time that it is used.)

After the ring of the cap frame driver and the height of the L-shaped bracket have been adjusted, 
they must be adjusted again if a different machine is being used. The height may differ depending 
on the machine that is used. For details, contact your authorized dealer.

Note

If the cap embroidery frame is attached, the embroidery frame indicators, showing which 
embroidery frames can be used, appear as shown below.
