Gen 2 Cap Frame
The Gen 2 Cap Frame was designed to make hooping the front of hats easier. This frame is light, has backing clips to secure stabilizer as well as a bill-retaining strap to accommodate different styles of hats. You can hoop structured, unstructured, visors and some bucket hats – all with proper bill alignment. Working together with the T-Bar Framing Gage, you will experience reduced flagging, needle breaks and air pockets while maintaining proper registration.

Back of Cap Clamp
The Back of Cap Clamp makes framing the back and sides of hats faster and easier. A single-lever cam lock and built-in backing clips hold everything securely in place, keeping the hat stable with no shifting during embroidery. Built from durable stainless steel, it adjusts to different material thicknesses without leaving hoop burns—ensuring consistent production and registration.
Side of Cap Clamp
The Side of Cap Clamp is a heavy-duty clamp designed to sew the side panels of a finished cap without using a cap driver. The formed top clamping window provides bill clearance, while the stainless steel sweatband retainer stays out of the sewing area, allowing you to stitch cleanly along the bottom edge of the cap. A single cam lever opens, closes, and locks the clamp in place for fast, consistent loading.
Bucket Cap Frame
The Bucket Cap Frame makes hooping and embroidering bucket hats simple and secure. Its two-piece design clamps down on the hat, holding it firmly in place with no shifting during sewing. Built to handle both soft fisherman caps and stiffer, brimmed safari styles, it keeps materials stable—ensuring clean, precise results every time.
270 Cap Frame
The Green 270 Cap Frame excels with ball caps featuring flatter bills, thanks to its unique clamp-top design that holds the bill upright and rigid. This makes it especially effective on machines with slimmer sewing heads. Its ridged top clamp also provides exceptional grip on cap front panels.
