Not a rant but I too have cap issues. Not the digitizing but getting the cap to 
stay in the frame. I do all the suggestions: trace, get it digitized for caps, 
heavy cap backing, new needle, but the cap tends to slide out from under the 
toothed band while sewing and then the registration is lost. Once I pull the 
sweatband out toward the hooping frame as instructed, there is nothing for the 
band to dig into since the seam allowance is now forward. I try to get it as 
tight as I can but it still manages to creep out from under the band. Also on 
the frame, the lower part of the piece that locks the brim protrudes toward the 
cap and appears too long to allow the cap/brim seam to engage between the 
teeth. I can't seem to get the teeth on the band to lock under the teeth on the 
frame with a cap on it, but empty it is fine. I hope this makes sense and 
someone can offer suggestions. I have watched the video several times and he 
makes it look so easy.
