Hooping caps on the Wide Cap Frame  (Note:  Max cap field width is 290mm or 11.4 inches.)

1. Align center seam on center mark.
2. Sweat band should be unfolded and placed under center mark plate.
3. Strap: Make sure teeth grip the seam all the way where the base meets the riser. If sewing on the sides, make sure the sides are grabbed by the teeth as well. Use free hand to hold back end of cap downwards.
4. Snap buckle into place. Note:  Be ready-cap will often shift towards buckle as buckle is closed, pushing center seam off alignment.  Compensate BEFORE closing buckle.
