  • Hat embroidery positioning device and method
    Patent number: 5598797
    Abstract: A hat embroidery alignment device and method comprises an alignment stand to which a cap frame with hat in place is located, thereby allowing an operator to draw forth a pointing device, or view a position indication, in order to align and lock the hat such that the area to be embroidered is positioned correctly, when placed onto an automatic sewing machine. The method of accurately prealigning the hat eliminates the need for final hat positioning while the cap frame is attached to the automatic sewing machine thereby saving labor.
