■ Attaching the cap frame to the embroidery
machine
The cap frame driver is required in order to attach
the cap frame to the embroidery machine. Before
attaching the cap frame to the machine, attach the
cap frame driver to the carriage. (Refer to
“Installing the cap frame driver” on page 171.)
1
Attach the cap frame to the cap frame driver.
As shown in the illustration, turn the
embroidering position to the side when
inserting the cap frame so the brim of the cap
does not hit the embroidery machine.
• Be careful that the cap frame does not hit
any nearby parts, such as the presser foot.
After turning the cap frame so that the
embroidering surface faces upward, align the
ring of the cap frame driver with the ring of the
cap frame. While sliding the cap frame to the
left and right, align the notch in the cap frame
with the guiding plate on the cap frame driver,
and then snap the frame into place.

frame, and then remove the cap.
