Re: [amayausers] Re: Hat BacksRoland,
CCF/WACF is the conventional cap frame and WACF is the newer 270 degree cap
frame. Melco has improved the WACF from the ones that I recieved with our
machines and I really haven't had the oportunity to give them a good
try....probably because I don't have any of them.......I do prefer, same as
Aaron, the older CCF/WACF for most caps and do most of my side work an/or cap
backs on fast frames....

You mean the conventional 'hoop' frames-not the WACF on the Melco's?

When I do my hat backs I don't worry so much about the arc being exactly
the same as the hats. I just set most hats up at 3" on the arc and let em go.
Never had any complaints and I do hat backs on 80% of my hats.
As far as the cap frames we use WACF on our 2 head tajima and they work
great. We use the conventional frames on our Melco's cause they are faster to
hoop and seem to sew better on taller designs.

I have been reading some of the talk about hat backs. Maybe I am naive
to what the problems are but I am really curious about what several of you are
encountering. Here is the scoop.
When I purchased my Amayas I did not like the WACF hat
frames............but determined myself to get use to them. I embroider all my
hats with them AND the hat backs. The only issues that seem to come up is when
doing the hat back I watch to see that the bill of the hat is not hitting on
the AMAYA table and throw registration off.
Also, in order to get the right curve for the hat back (for the
traditional style w/ opening in the back).......I digitize on screen (usually
lettering).....give it my best "eyeball judgement of a curve"..........print
out a paper copy.......cut it out........check the curve on the hat........make
adjustments.......print out a paper copy again. Most of the time I get it on
the second try.
I also determined myself not to use any thing that has the word "sticky
back" in it. TEE HEE! I actually have come to like the WACP hat frames. Does
this sound crazy?
