[amayausers] Questions on caps

Help!!!! I have a customer that brought some caps to me to embroider 
lettering on. Simple right? Not so, at least I think. And to make matters 
worse, this is my banker! The first cap is structured 6-panel with 4 of the 
panels being mesh along the sides and back. There is an embroidered USA 
emblem on the center front of the cap and there is piping that seperates the 
2 front cloth panels from the rest of the cap. There is about 2-1/2" of room 
on either side of this emblem to embroider the words Pontoon and Captain.
The other hats are totally unstructured with a Camp Snoopy design on the 
front. I need to get names on them and I'm thinking the only place they can 
go is around the back arch.
The only equipment I have for cap sewing is the WA cap frame that came with 
my machine and I have yet to get it on my machine and use it. The structured 
cap needs to be delivered by the 15th and the other 2 in August. So my 
questions are will 2-1/2" on either side of the existing design be enough 
room for lettering? I'm really nervous about getting this done since I've 
not used my cap frame and I don't have a spare moment to experiment this 
week before we are leaving for a weeks vacation. Any pointers, suggestions, 
etc. would be most welcome. I've got to get over this fear of caps as I 
think they can be a big money maker for me.
The other question I have is can I just hoop the cap back in a regular hoop 
when I get to those? I know Hootech makes a frame for this purpose but I 
can't really justify the expense right now. Any suggestions on this?
Hopefully I can get this cap done and out of here before I leave so it's off 
my mind and I can enjoy our vacation.
TIA for any help you all can give.
