Default Re: Embroidering caps

This is all great information! I too am getting a butt-kicking from trying to make caps...so much so that I don't try anymore! I've asked the question at the last 2 ISS shows I attended, and got various answers. One person always uses sharp needles...another always uses ball point needles...but 1 answer has always been consistent...I probably am not hooping the hats tight enough, causing needle deflection and breaking. Does any one have a recommendation for what cap hoops to use? I saw a demonstration at the last ISS in Fort Worth from Hoop Tech...and it sure looked easy! I guess that comes with experience.
