Description
The GEN 2 from Hoop Tech is the next generation HTP style cap frame.
Originally called The Dream Frame, the GEN 2 was redesigned to allow sewing closer to the bill than ever before.
And it is the easiest cap frame that we have ever made to frame all styles of caps, even visors!
The new "GEN 2" from Hoop Tech is the next generation EMS style cap frame. It was specially designed to maximize the sewing field on the front two panels of a finished cap, while still maintaining registration.
This cap frame is lighter, has backing holding clips, is easier to frame, and with the new bill retaining strap you can sew closer to the bill than ever before.
The GEN 2 works with all types of caps:
Structured - Unstructured - Low Profile - Full Crown - Strap Back - Flex Fit - Fitted - Flat Bill - Pre-curved - New Era - Pacific - Nylon - Military Style. And don't forget VISORS! (With and without sweatbands)
Now, finally an easy way to hold and sew visors! Full field sewing access with no bill restriction. Don’t settle for putting your design just where you can get it to sew, Put your design where it looks good!
The new “GEN 2” features include:
- A spring steel bill retainer that sets and holds the bill angle.
- Backing clips to hold your stabilizer in place during framing.
- Internal retaining fingers for proper bill alignment.
- Lighter frame design (20% less weight) than the original.
- Redesigned bill retainer with closer access to the bill.
- Open design Top Clamp.
- Large sewing field.

The EMS / Hoop Tech Cap Frames are built tough to stand up to day to day production use. The heavy gage stainless steel construction will give you years of service. The EMS / Hoop Tech Cap frame design allows for variation in cap size, shape and material thickness. When used with the Hoop Tech patented “T”-Bar Framing gage, framing a finished cap becomes as easy as 1-2-3.
The T-Bar Framing gage is the secret!
The T-Bar Framing Gage gives you the leverage to stretch the cap fabric down so that it lays flat on the gage, then the GEN 2 clamps it in place for great registration.
The stitch quality of the “GEN 2” is even better than the original EMS style cap frame and it’s easier to frame using the redesigned adjustable T-Bar Framing Gage.
