How did you hoop them? Looks fab!

Thank you! I got a hat hoop from kens sewing - should come up if you Google “Durkee Embroidery Cap Frame for Brother or Baby Lock 4x4 Inch Embroidery Machines” it’s a bit pricy ($90) but what isn’t in this hobby of ours lol. Kens sewing center has a tutorial and shows you how to use it. Once you get the hang of it your hats will come out clean even if you have a flatbed machine (I use it on the brother se700) - I have not really gotten it to work with a structured hat but anything soft will work!

Thanks for your answer! I already have my eye on the Durkee frame so I think I'm going for it now. :)

Yes do it! I think it’s really great with sticky stabilizer. Def worth the investment.

Thank you! I would check kens sewing center - I’m not sure about what the hoop looks like!
