I am seconds away from severe frustration on hooping caps and its 
unbelieveable.  I am using the XT Extended frame and I even downloaded and 
watched Herb's video on hooping caps, but I am still having a probem or two.  
1)  Are the teeth of the top strap supposed to go in front or behind the teeth 
under the cap?  2)  Following the teeth theme, where are the teeth for the 
sides supposed to be in relation to the underneath teeth?  3)  The design is 
very simple and I have ensured it stitches center out, bottom top, but when I 
was able to stitch out the lettering (Boffo-Dak, .3 in height, 65/9 needle, 3.2 
density), the lettering is inconsistent and not smooth (some letters have 
thread bunching and others it looks "leaned out").  I adjusted the presser foot 
to go all the way down, then up two clicks and slowed the stitch speed to 850.  
I think its a hooping issue, but not sure.  Can someone help?

Thanks in advance.
