First, we’ll discuss the standard cap hoop that comes with all Ricoma embroidery machines. You receive two of these hoops for free when you purchase a Ricoma embroidery machine. This easy-to-use embroidering hoop has a faster hooping time than the 8-in-1 device and it allows you to embroider the front and sides of a cap without rehooping. Unfortunately, the standard cap hoop doesn’t allow you to embroider the back of caps and it won’t let you embroider as close to the brim as the GEN 2.
Next, we have the 8-in-1 device. This versatile device comes with eight hoops and can be used to embroider both flats and caps. Furthermore, the 8-in-1 device is the only cap hoop that gives the freedom to embroider a cap’s back and sides. However, it should be noted that the 8-in-1 device cannot embroider the front of caps, and it also takes the longest to hoop.
Lastly, we have the HoopTech GEN 2. This embroidery hoop is ideal for thick caps and embroidering very low on the brim. It’s also easy to use and has the fastest hooping time of all three of the hoops - making it a phenomenal option for embroiderers who are just starting out. However, the HoopTech GEN 2 can’t embroider the cap’s sides, and - at $750 - it’s the most expensive of the three.

I have a Gen 2 hoop. So I need to select a different hoop setting to get low on the brim? It is still too high with the normal cap hoop selection.

@ricomatv Ай бұрын

Hi! If you're using a Gen 2 hoop and find that the normal cap hoop selection still positions the design too high on the brim, you may need to adjust your hoop settings.

what size thread and needles do you use to do the caps

@ricomatv Ай бұрын

Hi! We mostly see 40-weight polyester or rayon thread being used with caps, it totally depends. On the other hand, we see 75/11 needles being used but it depends on the design or cap you are using.

When using sticky stabilizer, you should place the sticky side up so the cap has something to hold on to.

I was told the Gen 2 does not work on the EM-1010. Why does that machine not have the same option. I dont prefer the cap driver they are so hard to hoop onto the machine and the stitching is up too high on the cap

I just bought the Gen 2 and was SUPER excited about it, but I can't get closer to the brim of the hat than about 0.85"/21mm away. I can get closer with the cap rings my machine came with. I have the 2021 Ricoma MT 1501. I'm pushing the design all the way down in the embroidery field on the machine. What can I do to make the design closer to the brim? Thanks for the help!

Hi Lillian! You have to use the cap hoop, you just have to adjust the parameters. You also need to remove the wings, in order to use the Gen2 effectively, otherwise, the Gen 2 will hang on these wings.
