Hats is the most frustrating embroidery request I get. This video is the absolutely the best I have ever came across to explain how to set everything up and get the best possible result. I would love for you to tell me everything I am doing wrong....

I just found your videos tonight while looking for a good Tutorial. And I have to tell you; you explainify things extremely well for a 60 year old woman like me to be able to understand and actually comprehend better than the actual Brother educator videos. You take it slow and easy and actually show the closeups (which is definitely needed by the way), and you tell us "Exact Steps" as you go along explaining each step, so we can see what you're doing and follow along better. And your voice is pleasant and very clear. You really should be an Educator for Brother Directly. Thank you so much for taking the time to share these Tutorial videos.

It’s great to have you back!

Tock creates the best and most thorough tutorials I have ever watched. I've watched all his. Would like to see a tutorial to sew out Brother built in designs that have the right of design must repeat the design on the left side. I've loaded 10 different thread in my 10 needle Brother and it will no sew out the same on right and left side.

Thanks for making this video! I really enjoyed it!

Thank You for such a detailed Video. I received the Hat Driver & Durkee Frames, and Stand with my machine purchase (Bundle). I will have to get the Hat Driver out of the closet and try it out.

As a fellow long-haired beardo, baseball caps make us look like bubba so I usually wear them backwards or with my hair in a tail. Great to see you!

I have been waiting for you to do this video thank yoiu so much i can finally try and do hats

We got a PR-1055x about the same time you did, but with a different type of hat attachment. Either way, you're missing out on some of the great features of the machine. You don't have to be so precise in putting the hat in the attachment - the machine has a built in camera for precise centering and alignment, which gets you perfect placement every time. Plus, once your hat is locked into its attachment, if the bobbin runs out, the machine stops and alerts you. You can then detach the hat (use the thread cut button first), keeping it in the fixture, change the bobbin (or rethread, if that runs out or breaks), remount the hat, back up any number of stitches, and pick up again.

Please make more of these!

Nice tutorial - I know exactly where the machine came from & that’s cool bc I was looking at this very machine !

Great tutorial, thank you!

Great job!!! I purchased that new cap kit months ago and never used it. The store couldn't even tell me how to do anything and that is all they sell is embroidery and sewing machines, etc.

You look good with a hat on not weird at all! ❤

Can you show us how to embroider on the mesh of the hat? I have both the wide brim & flat brim attachments.

My hat’s off to you! Fun video. So amazed by the engineering behind these embroidery machines. Looking forward to modeling my logo hat for you!

any advice on preventing the cap from moving during stitching? I've had a few designs move mid way through and therefore throwing off the stitches and spacing. Thanks! love your videos

Do you have a video on how to embroider on back of a cap with a curved font using the 1055x?

i have brother 1000 and 1000e, diff hat hoop my machines HATE structured hats, yours seem to have done the job no proble, however after you can see the placement of your embroidery is crooked... angling off and up, even when you lay all the hats together you can see some of the designs are not straight and centered...the dump, the brother embroidery and the wings with the TC are good examples of what im talking about, on the left start perfect, towards the right they angle up... im soo frustrated with brother machines not being able to do structured hats perfectly.

Great Job. I do like watching your videos because you definitely cover all the details and with great visuals. I just purchased the PR-1055x and I would like to know this, when placing the hat/cap driver onto the machine, will I need to unloosen and then tighten those screws every time I mount this driver on the machine OR is this just done the first time you mount the driver on your machine?

since this is the newest video I've seen, hopefully you'll see the comments than ones you've done a few years ago. On your basic tools you said you sharped your scissors with a knife sharpener/steel, please can you show how, only sharpened knives with one. Thankyou

I probably shouldn't have given that advise actually. I've since learned that there are professional shear sharpeners that do a WAY better job lol. I use Famore Cutlery now. But look around, it's so worth it!

My PR1055X won’t let me stitch a design more than 2.25 inches. Your designs look larger than that. How did you do that?!?!. Thanks!

Hmmm, when you put in each hoop (or hat hoop), that machine should detect the max size. I think this one was like 2.5 tall by 5.5 wide? Try to re-seat the hoops and racks to see if it resets. Otherwise, I'm not sure what's going on. Wish I could be more helpful!

Would you happen to have the variety hat pack info Just bought this embroidery machine and I'm new to all this Thank you kindly

Do you have links for the actual machine ? And any recommendations on where to get the strings along with requieres materials ?

Loved this video.. where do i get the brother logo design??

I love your videos, and was excited to see you have this new one about embroidery. But I'm disappointed that the machine you are using (I'm sure it's exceptionally good) is beyond the reach of hobbyists like myself. Here in Canada, it's over $22,000!!!!! Geez, I could buy a car for less than that. I'd love to see a video using something more affordable (and of course it would be less capable) which might be a better fit for casual sewers.

Also, can you please do a video on how to upload personal photos to the machine to use for the screen saver? I can't for the life of me figure it out. it's small enough, It's in jpeg format, but when I go to the screen, it says it can't use that photo. HELP!

Did you say there’s another hat hoop for Dri-fit hats baseball hats? Or was that just for knit winter hats. If it is for dri-fit baseball hats. What is it called? I have the brother prx1

It does work because I must have loaded the right threads in my 10 needles in January 2023 when I got my Brother 10 needle, but can't duplicate my process. I've called Brother Int'l and their suggestions have not worked.

Since you have a Brother 1055x, have tried sewing out 011 Butterfly on 10 needle built in design. Right and left side will not sew out idential

I use those gold tipped stick-nadel embroidery needles, haven't had a problem yet. Oh I still have some of the factory needles in that machine too, so its kind of a mixed bag. I think the hats I used were pretty cheap though so I didn't have a problem with it being too thick. Hope you can practice with some different settings and needles to get some good results

Where if you purchase the hat frame? I cannot find one.

Hi Toc, I just got the wide cap frame and i'm still getting broken needles and no matter what i di it sounds like it's popping, i can't get the cap flat enough.

Weird, that sounds really frustrating. Do you have the little black cap that goes on the bobbin casing plate? I can't imagine what the needle would be hitting to break. I can ask my rep if you can't figure it out, but I don't know if I can do much to troubleshoot with you. Thanks for reaching out, hope we can figure something out!

its called flagging, the structured cap is lifting while ur needle foot is going down causing a disruptions, to keep the cap more still use the black clips to tighten, however the caps are sooo rigid i find the only way to stop some of that is to STEAM it before hand so its nice and soft, or soft enough for machines... i just stay away from structured, cant guarantee consistency

I think you look better with the bent brim. Although that may just be because you were wearing the flat brim too high.

It's pretty pricey, and you can only purchase them at approved Brother Sewing dealers (which most cities have at least a few). I know it was designed in Japan, but I'm not sure if they're manufactured in the United States or Japan. Either way, this machine is awesome! You could easily start a business with this machine alone :)
