The T-BAR Framing Gage featuring the exclusive T-Bar Tensioning Arm, allowing the embroiderer to stretch the front panels of the cap against the top of the gage so that when the cap is clamped by the cap frame it is held in the ideal position for sewing. The framing gage with its lever arm, gives the cap framer a 10 to 1 mechanical advantage when getting the cap to lay flat before sewing. This saves a great deal of energy when framing up large orders. Only Hoop Tech has the patented Tensioning Arm.

While the cap and backing are sandwiched the Cap Frame is latched, and the cap and backing are locked into place. This marriage of cap and backing is what allows the Hoop Tech Cap Frame to hold the best registration in the business.
