Thank you

[@lalodrinks7523]

thanks for the video is very helpfully for me, am still learning how to hoop and use my em1010

[@ricomatv]

We are so glad to hear this! Congrats on your EM-1010!

[@borikua2001]

Excelent video! Can I use the Gen 2 other EM1010?

[@SoulfullSinger]

*The GEN 2 cap frame is not compatible with the EM-1010.

[@ricomatv]

Unfortunately, the Gen 2 is not compatible with the EM-1010

[@tonyabenjamin263]

Did you do your own digitizing? Your design really looks clean!

[@ricomatv]

We do!

[@LillianRamirez-c9h]

Can you make a video embroidering an extra small child’s ball cap? Hooping and best digitizing size. I tried one and it embroiders too high. Do 8 I need to change parameter size?

[@ricomatv]

Hi! We hope this video helps > kzbin.info/www/bejne/rJfMdYmglK2ffM0si=wtbbA24vt2Rnw2Hu

[@ELGATO417]

Can you embroider the brim of the caps?

[@ricomatv]

The only way to embroider the brim of a cap is to embroider the fabric before the cap is contracted. Thanks for watching!

[@zehcnas1008]

Hi Willie, When using the Gen2 cap frame do you use CAP for the frame choice on mt1501? Or do you use OTHER?

[@ricomatv]

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.

[@zehcnas1008]

@@ricomatv Not sure what you mean by the wings.

[@amandaangelo7805]

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]

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.

[@desireefuguet5877]

Hi, we want to embroider on full brim hats (Not baseball hats), like SanMar C921 & NE800, can you please show how to do that?

[@ricomatv]

Hi there! That's a great suggestion and we will be sure to pass it along. In the meantime, have you checked out this other tutorial we did? --->kzbin.info/www/bejne/oYiXfZl-pK2bZ5I

[@AnnieZ265]

very informative. Could you please make a video to introduce how to do gerneral mainteinance for the machine at home? thanks.

[@ricomatv]

Hi there, we have maintenance videos on our youtube channel for all our models -> kzbin.info/www/bejne/sKCWkH9rj7-Vgtk&t

[@daveknowles8632]

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

[@ricomatv]

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.

[@billlofton7625]

Is the 8 in 1 device the only way to embroider cap backs?

[@ricomatv]

Hi! Here is another video that can show you another option > kzbin.info/www/bejne/emHZZ6mre6mijcksi=ULvwP65kzgTmcSLz

[@YamsayinEst2019]

Does the gen2 cap clamp work on the brother prs100 embroidery machine?

[@ricomatv]

It should, I would check the measurements for the embroidery machine to be sure.

[@vlcustoms]

How do you keep the needle from breaking in the middle seam? Also what speeds is the best. Ty

[@ricomatv]

Hi there! for more great tips on cap embroidery, that will answer these questions check out this video: kzbin.info/www/bejne/eHWpYYSZaJibiqM

[@kelseyearth]

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!

[@ricomatv]

You might have to change the parameters on your machine. You can find how to do that through this link -->kzbin.info/www/bejne/jKrHcnpjgqimeKc.

[@tamikeejennings1966]

Hey and thank you for your information, is there any difference with the Gen 2 or should I just save my money and stick with the cap ring that came with my 1502? Thank you 😀

[@bunnylou4993]

Will this round hoop work on a Janome mb-7 machine???

[@ricomatv]

Hi there, these hoops come with our Ricoma machines, you would have to check the sizes that can fit your Janome.

[@edwardolivares5038]

Can the fast frame embroider on the sides

[@ricomatv]

Hi! Are you referring to the 8 in 1?

[@zehcnas1008]

My gen 2 will not center on my machine. Could you tell be how to fix this.

[@ricomatv]

Hi, please send us an email > [e-mail]

[@jenniferbacon6916]

Can you gen 2 with baby lock?

[@ricomatv]

Hi Jennifer, you might be able to depending the measurements.

[@loyaltyiskey]

What is the device you were using to hoop the caps? The one that was mounted onto your shelf?

[@ricomatv]

that is the cap frame that comes with the machines, you can mount it on any work table you'd like.

[@seventhgod9786]

Hey, What hoop size did you select, cap or other? Thanks

[@ricomatv]

We used the HoopTech GEN 2 Package which you can hoop almost every type of cap with this frame, including strapbacks, Richardson caps, flexfits, structured, unstructured, visors, and many more.

[@seventhgod9786]

@@ricomatv when using Gen 2, which hoop option did you select on mt150. Thanks

[@ricomatv]

We've added a link below that might be able to help on how to select your hoop option! kzbin.info/www/bejne/hGawZGmgfsunnKs

[@arturomunoz8894]

For the Gen 2 you didn't use tearaway stabilizer and you didn't brought out the sweatband, isn't necessary?

[@ricomatv]

Hi there, since he was embroidering on a structured cap with the gen 2, you do not need stabilizer on very structured caps.

[@karenjohnson-i4e]

Can the m1010 do leather jackets

[@ricomatv]

Yes it can!

[@jonathanw.6266]

Can you please post the file that you use so that we can test it ourselves? Thanks!

[@gaylenerose]

Will the gen 2 frame fit the viking mn1000?

[@ricomatv]

Hi there, it would depend on the size of the Viking mn 1000, we recommend asking the distributor of your machine.

[@gaylenerose]

@@ricomatv Question answered below, MN 1000 is the same machine as the EM 1010

[@alexsisk1898]

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

[@ricomatv]

Hoop the piece of tear away sticky back stabilizer with the shiny side up.

[@alexsisk1898]

Correct, sticky side facing the garment unlike what is shown at 8:17

[@gwendolynpawluk6975]

How do you set the parameters for both sides and front

Hi there, our service techs can help you, reach out to them at [e-mail]

[@shugg881]

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

[@ricomatv]

Due to the size of the Gen 2, it is not compatible with the EM-1010. Sorry for the inconvenience. but we do have lots of videos that will help with embroidering on caps with the em -1010 kzbin.info/www/bejne/qoixd5-vZqhlha8&t
