Maybe not for big jobs but looks easy for small jobs.

This is the way home machines have to sew caps.

IMHO

IT IS HORRIBLE!!

I personally had spent many$ on this style of hoop and would never go back.
1 you must use an adhesive tearaway which in its self has issues.
2 you can not sew along the bill as it does not hold it straight it holds it flat.
for non-structured hats it has some use but many structured hats will fight
this hooping method.

If your a hobbiest this may have some use but for production they are a nightmare.

Agreed. Just get the conventional cap frame and be done with it 😁

Works great, easy to learn, produces consistent results...
