Andrew,
I too, agree with Rod on the preferred way to sew on different sides of a cap.
If you are new to embroidery, chances are you don't own Fast Frames or the
Slimline hoop as of yet. These will be 3rd party hooping devices that you can
purchase from Melco Mart but know that you're looking at an expense of
approximately $300 for the Fast Frames set and $400 for the Slimline hoop and
that is only with one size window.
You can sew on the side of the cap with the WACF (wide angle cap frame) but it
is agreed by most this is not the most efficient way to do it.
Depending on the cap you are sewing on you might need to rehoop the cap, in
order to ensure the cap is aligned correctly, when going from the front of the
cap to the side of the cap or vise versa.
For example, the old style trucker caps that my grandpa (and today's
breakdancers) used to wear might be a little more forgiving as the upright
angles on front and side will be similar.
However todays more popular caps, low profile and such, will have to be
repositioned accordingly to ensure the sewing surface is parallel to the
needleplate surface. And this repositioning can take more time than one is
willing to devote whereas the Fast Frames are as their name implies,... Faster.
Good luck,
