[amayausers] Re: Hooping Bucket style hats

 
You'd have to use your 5" x 4" but only apply the hat part way on the  frame. 
Adjust your placement of the design it's in the proper place. Of course  
you'll remember to turn the design upside down. :-) Oh, and watch as the design 
 
gets close to the arm/needle plate area. If the hat pulls down the frame even  
slightly, it can mess up the registration--you want to make sure the frame 
stays  above the plate area (I have held the garment so there is no weight and 
even  lifted the frame "slightly" to make sure it clears). Hope this helps.

Dorothy,
I like the idea of a cloth strip, but not sure if the  customer will go
for it.  Design is 108 mm wide by 43 mm tall. Which  fast frame do you
think would work the best?

I've never done one of these but have you tried heating the  hat a bit
(the  
area to be embroidered) and then use a fast frame?  How large a design?
Is it  
possible to put the design on a cloth  strip that goes around the base? 
Hopefully  someone with experience  will help out.

Hi  all,
I'm new to the emb biz and have to sew some  canvas Outback hats by
Port.
It appears to me that you cannot hoop one  of these stiff brimmed hats
on
a WACF (which is the only type I have  right now)  What would you
suggest
I hoop these on?  Thanks
