To attach the cap frame, first ensure the machine is turned off. Remove the current hoop, then align the cap frame driver with the machine's arm. Secure it using the provided screws and ensure it's tightly fastened before placing the cap frame.
Start by opening the cap frame and placing the cap with the brim facing the driver. Use the alignment clips to center the cap, then pull the strap across the back of the cap and tighten it. Ensure the cap is taut and the brim is flat against the guide.
Ensure the cap is properly hooped and the center of the design is aligned with the center seam of the cap. Check that the machine's needle position is set correctly before starting the embroidery.
Regularly check for loose screws and tighten them as needed. Clean the frame and driver to remove any dust or thread remnants. Lubricate moving parts according to the manufacturer's guidelines to ensure smooth operation.
Use high-quality thread and needles suitable for the fabric type. Ensure the tension settings are correct and the cap is hooped tightly. Regularly check for burrs or damage on the needle and replace it if needed.
Turn off the machine and reattach the cap frame, ensuring all connections are secure. Restart the machine and check the settings to ensure the cap frame is selected. If the issue persists, consult the user manual or contact customer support.
Use the adjustable strap to accommodate different cap sizes. Ensure the cap is centered and the brim is aligned with the guide. Adjust the tension to ensure the cap is secure and won’t move during embroidery.
Distortion can occur if the cap is not hooped tightly. Ensure the cap is properly secured in the frame and the fabric is taut. Check that the design is compatible with the cap curve and adjust stitch density if necessary.
The cap frame is specifically designed for caps, but with creativity, it can be adapted for other cylindrical items. However, for optimal results, use frames designed for the specific garment type.
Stop the machine immediately if the needle hits the frame. Recheck the alignment of the cap and ensure it is centered. Verify that the needle is installed correctly and not bent. Adjust the hoop if needed and proceed carefully.
