Default Hooping the backs of Flexfit/fitted hats

I have to embroider the backs of fitted caps (with inside elastic sweatband) - I only have a Tajima hat hoop& they fall out - is there anything else I can do besides snipping the stitches inside the band, flipping it out, hooping over it & tightening the clamp?? It doesn't work very well - HALP!

I always use fast frames for the backs of hats. Very quick and easy.

We use HoopTech clamps. We still snip the stitch so the placement will be low enough.

We also use fastframes. Very quick, very easy! Check them out, they are a great value in my opinion and a must have if you do a lot of hat backs and other hard to hoop items.
