Smaller projects...no problem! The second item in the Power Pack is the EZ Frame 7 piece combo pack. This incredibly versatile selection of frame sizes makes difficult to hoop items a breeze. Durkee EZ Frames provide a stable platform for your embroidery projects. Better stability means less bounce, better registration, and better results!
The third member of the Power Pack has literally changed thousands of embroiderers' attitudes from refusing to attempt embroidering caps to self-proclaimed cap embroidery artists...the Durkee Multi-Needle Cap Frame. The Durkee Cap Frame offers a sewing field as large as 5" wide and 4 1/2" tall for logos, special designs, or monograms. Perhaps the best of all is its’ simplicity of use;the cap frame fits into the “A” arm of the ten needle machine just like a traditional hoop.
Introducing Durkee “EZ Frames” for multi-needle Embroidery machines. EZ Frames are a simple, yet effective, system for hooping otherwise difficult to hoop items. Simply apply sticky backing to the underside of the frame with the sticky side up. The adhesive on the backing holds your project in place while the machine is stitching.
*Durkee has less vibration with 3 times the thickness of frames with almost no vibration up and down, compared to Fast Frames.
Stability - due to their thickness and strength, you can stitch comfortably with EZ Frames at 1,000 stitches per minute!
Strength - EZ Frames are constructed with 3/16" anodized aluminum to provide years of consistent, uninterrupted performance. This compares to Fast Frames 1/16" metal frames which have a lot more vibration up and down movements.* EZ Frames also has larger Thumb Screws for ease of tightening and loosening.

Why won't my machine recognize the correct size of hoop I Have installed on the machine?
On the rare occasion this issue comes up, the answer is the same. . Durkee EZ Frames have nothing to do with the issue. In fact, the customer should take them off and set them aside to fix the problem. The “A” arm of the machine has multiple positioning locations that, when properly aligned, cause the machine to “recognize” the hoop attached to the arm. In this instance the word “recognize” refers ONLY to the hoops that came with the machine or other OEM hoops from Brother available for that machine. Those positions on the “A” arm are small slots or grooves. In order for the machine to recognize the correct hoop, the left side (adjustable arm that moves left and right) must align perfectly in any given slot and the knob that holds it tightly secured. If these two criteria are not met, the machine “assumes” the next smallest size hoop.
Thus, if the customer will remove any/all hoops or frames from the machine and adjust the “A” arm correctly in the proper slot and tighten the thumbscrew/knob securely, the machine will “think” it has a 7 7/8” x 11 7/8” hoop attached and the problem will be solved. This hoop is usually and inaccurately referred to as a 12 x 8 hoop. Brother identifies this hoop as their “Large” hoop. Because the machine “thinks” it has a 12 x 8 hoop in place is why the customer must ALWAYS center their #1 needle in the middle of the EZ Frame or hoop and trace their design.
Always get great products and service. Thanks
