I've read through the threads on embroidering on beanie type caps, and see that 
most people use fast frames or slimline clamps. I don't have either one, and 
I'm thinking a round hoop would be best? The design I'll be using is 2.3 x 2.1 
inches and about 6700 stitches. It's not a solid dense design, it has a lot of 
open area and stitches great on a regular cap with the WACF. I plan to use a 
solvy on top to prevent the stitches from sinking between the ribs. What 
backing would be best? Medium cut-away? Mesh, one layer or two? Should the 
design be on  the cuff or just above?
Any advice you Guru's can offer will be a big help! Thanks.
