Roland,
Embroidery Systems Canada out of Calgary Alberta carries a great bucket cap
frame that mounts on the amaya driver. Works like a charm. Give Bruce a call
and tell him that I refered you. He will take care of you. They are much
easier than trying to use a flat hoop or a conventional cap frame
