Cheryl I have recently done some of the outback style hats on the new XT cap frame...it wasn't exactly easy, but it does work....it just takes a bit of configuring the hat on the hoop and keeping the wide brim out of the way.

Has anyone had to sew these type of hats on the new XT cap hoops. My concern is that the older hoops had two straps to grab the sweatband and the new ones have only one strap. Comments anyone?
