up and the frame going inside the cap.The bill should be pushed against the bill-stop on the frame and should be relatively centered. The centering mark on the bill-stop can be used for reference. The cap should ride over the two clip posts toward the bottom of each side of the frame. Step 4: Press down on the bill to ensure it is falling in the bill trough of the cap frame.This will help keep the cap from sliding or coming off the frame during sewing. Pull the side of the sweatband toward the cap frame and down, and smooth any bunching on the sides or sweatband.You may eventually need to fold the sweatband a bit to avoid the latching hook. Watch the backing to ensure it's still in place. Step 5: When the left side of the cap is within the strap hinge post, swing the strap up and over the brim. On the side, the strap's teeth should fall just above the seam attaching the sweatband to the cap. Step 6: Continue bringing the strap around the front of the cap, where the strap's teeth must fall into the bill's seam. Bring the strap down the other side of the cap and ensure the teeth fall just above the stitching attaching the sweatband. Step 7: Hook the latch on the strap into the hook on the latch post.You may need to fold or adjust the sweatband slightly to accommodate the hook and latch.At this point, you should hook the latch, but not close it.
