Wendy I have decided to give all my hat jobs to Rod Springer. He lives close by. I hate them and he does an outstanding job on them. But then he does a good job at everything. Email Rod.

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.
