I asked awhile back about hat hoops and home-made hat hoops and with great help from my Cute Sisters and my DH who cut out the clipboard for me, here is what I'm up to.

2. Adding my granddaughter in her cap that she insisted on when she saw mine,
3. Adding the front and back of the home made hat hoop. It fits inside my 5x7 hoop for the Bernina which is really a 5 3/4x 10 Inch hoop. The cut out is 5 1/2 x 5 1/2 Inches

Brought this back to the top for joycross who was asking about hat hoops.

I don't remember where I saw it but the cutout was 4 1/2 " square and it was placed 3 1/2 " from the top of the board.

I actually clipped a hat onto it and determined where to put the cut- out from there and mine is 5 1/2" x 5 1/2" but that would be determined by the size of your hoop.

I was so intrigued by this that I searched and found this video. I don't understand the language but the demonstration is so good that you don't need to understand what she is saying. I hope this answers all the questions posted below. I feel like I could make this based on what I saw in the video.

Thanks Queen! This video made the light bulb go off! I couldn't imagine how to hold the new "Cap Hoop" on my machine. This simply replaces the inner hoop, and snugs up. Yup.... gonna try this!

Cute smile!! How in the world does this fit in HOOP??? I guess I need to try to find a video on YouTube??? Anything that works and I can save $$$$$. I love learning all this stuff and all these projects I've never seen.

Great end result. I'm not understanding how exactly it works, though. Can you show us a photo of the hat clipped onto this, and then, how you hoop it to your machine? I am not from the 'show me state' but I do need for you to show me.-lol

The clipboard replaced your inner hoop. The bill of the cap goes into the clip on the board.

Terrific idea..and so much savings. You did a great job and so did your DH. Mine is good at that sort of thing also--he has a workshop with all the tools. I must search for the video--would someone please share the link?

Did you and your DH have a tutorial that gave you instructions on how to make this hat hoop? I have seen the website that sells them for $27.00 but a clipboard would be cheaper .Does this fit a 5x7 hoop or is yours larger?

A lovely cap, and a nice job by your better half. I think you'll have your work cut out when your grands see this.

Very cute, and my son's initials, although he would prefer a block letter and something other than pink! I think you got it as smooth as any hat hoop would.

Well, how about that? I'll remember he doesn't like pink and try another color next time. :)
