LiVawne,
Worth the money? Well that is debatable but, kind of tough to manufacture
one for ourselves so we are all stuck with the old adage of " sell it for
whatever the market will bare "..
Now having said all that, YES. The CCF/WAD , in my opinion, is much easier
to use and much faster. I know of many machine operators the use it
exclusively just because of this. I have found that the WACF will work
better on some but not all un-constructed hats.
The 270 feature of the WACF is very critical to proper hooping of the cap
which takes extra time, but it does work. The WACF frame is kind of like a
pickup with 4 wheel drive, don't use it much, but when you need it, you
really need it!!
You mentioned that the CCF/WAD appeared to have about an inch more sewing
area. This is only an illusion. If you select the hoops on screen and use
the ruler to measure the vertical sewing field, you will find that they are
almost exactly the same and measure 2.7 inches, give or take a few
hundredths of an inch.
What I have found on SOME designs and there are some cautions here, is that
using the CCF/WAD I can disable the hoop limits and lower the design
approximately another 1/4 inch towards the bill of the cap. If you go too
low, the presser foot will start sliding down the slope of the cap, forcing
it into the backside of the needle which in turn will cause needle breaks.
If you push the design too high, you will start tearing up the inside of the
cap lining. So,. be careful in this regard. When doing this, always remember
to re-enable the hoop limits for future use with other hoops. Needle strikes
on any hoop frame can seriously knock your machine out of adjustment.
If you try to do this with the WACF frame you take the chance of a needle or
presser foot strike on the metal band that goes across the top side of the
bill. I would not advise anyone to disable the hoop limits while the WACF
is in use.
The CCF/WAD is a fantastic addition to your tools of the trade and you would
not be sorry that you purchased it....
