  • Interesting new cap hoop?

    Kathy shows you how to stitch a monogram cap using the Durkee Cap Frame from Durkee Hoops.Video tutorial from Applique Corner.For more information, visit us ...


    Maybe not for big jobs but looks easy for small jobs.

    This is the way home machines have to sew caps.

    IMHO

    IT IS HORRIBLE!!

    I personally had spent many$ on this style of hoop and would never go back.
    1 you must use an adhesive tearaway which in its self has issues.
    2 you can not sew along the bill as it does not hold it straight it holds it flat.
    for non-structured hats it has some use but many structured hats will fight
    this hooping method.

    If your a hobbiest this may have some use but for production they are a nightmare.

      Agreed. Just get the conventional cap frame and be done with it 😁

      Works great, easy to learn, produces consistent results...

            Here is what it looks like and Melco’s own instructions on how to use it.
