Default Re: Embroidering caps

Thanks for all the great information. I am having the same problem that Curt is having. I used brand new 75/11 sharp needles, made adjustments in the density of the design, sewed slowly through the seams of the hats, and I'm still having problems with needles breaking. At first I thought my machine was out of timing, but the design is sewing beautifully on a flat hoop. I made sure the hat was properly hooped and moved the design up more on the hat (away from the bill). Aside from all that, I'm still having issues. I do hats quite frequently but I've never had this problem. Could there be anything else going on that I haven't tried??
