Hooping Hat back w/ Brass Press Buckle

[Hasco Embroidery]

Does anyone have any suggestions on how to hoop a hat back when it has a Brass Press Buckle for the closure??
I typically use a round 4.68 or 5.85 to do my hats but the hoop falls directly on the brass eyelet. The smaller hoop is too small for the design and the larger hoop is too large for the caps.

I use the 12 cm (4.68)and usually rotate the metel clasp sideways so its not in the way. Most of them will easily rotate.

The Fast frame work great with hat backs. I use the 6x51/2rouded one and two clamps.

I just finished 80 cap backs using the small SlimLine clamping hoop. It worked great!
