That simply means that you are using a Titanium coated needle. The needle
people claim that the points hold their sharpness longer than without. A
lot of folks I know prefer them and say they are stronger. I usually opt
for them when I buy my needles because they're just a few pennies more and I
figure it can't hurt. But honestly, I have no way of knowing that they are
any better with my personal use because I really haven't had any issues with
the regular needles we have and are still using, from way back when we
purchased our machines. I really have more needles than I need.
You could always get the titanium ones because they are a cooler looking
color? :)

Sure Ed, I'm game. And the idea about keeping the sharps on the machine
all the time is a great one. I always know which one is the sharp cuz the
top of the needle is the only part that is silver in color. The bottom is
somewhat gold in tint. I really am not sure why, though!!! Debbie

Debbie,
Here's a tid bit... Have some of your needles on your Amaya ball
point and some of them sharps. Know in your own mind which ones they are so
that when you need to sew with an appropriate needle, all you have to do is
change out the spool of thread which takes me about 8 seconds and is easy as
pie.
Just a suggestion.
Say, does everyone on the list know how to tie a knot when changing
out spools of thread so that the knot goes through any size needle??? I'll
tell you if you want to know.... Any takers???

You know I will...NEXT TIME...LOL!!! I under-charged this first time,
but after I realized HOW HARD they are to hoop up and then you must change
all your ball point needles over to sharps and then back again...WELL, I
learned the hard way!!!! MERRY CHRISTMAS, Ed!!

Great to hear Debbie.
Now go out there and charge them an arm and a leg for all your
hard work. Heh- heh.

Just wanted to say that the Carharts are DONE!!!!! YEA!!!!
Since they were on the front chest, I was not able to take out a seam and
was forced to hoop through all layers. One of the jackets had a heavy polar
type fleece lining and the others had flannel like quilted linings. After
placing the top hoop over the inside hoop, I used a short screwdriver to
tighten the bolt a little then adjust the hoop a little ( to keep it from
popping off) and go through those same steps until it wouldn't tighten
anymore. I had a 3oz cutaway for backing, no topping and used an MT of 9,
but after several false breaks, dropped it to 7 and it stitched beautifully
at a speed of 1150. The design and logo were about 10,000 stitches and so
only needed the 5.9mm round hoop. AFter dropping the MT, they all stitched
without one break. It was a purchased design consisting of a barn, silo,
tree, fense, tractor sun and cloud outline, plus the placid font, which was
in my older Viking software. The font was GREAT. So, all's well that ends
well!!!!!!! THANKS for all your help. DEBBIE

Thanks everyone, since I'm new to doing caps, that answers my
question and especially since they are black, the powered sugar shows more.

Ruth,
Two things,... Either it's bobbin showing up on the top
side of the cap...-- tighten your bobbin and increase your material
thickness to accommodate.
or
It's the buckram that is showing itself in all of the
needle penetrations. Buckram is the hot glue like substance that is used in
the cap for face stability. We sometimes have to hit the cap with a felt
lint brush to "clean up" the face of the cap following the embroidery.
If your so called "dandruff" in only concentrated in one
area of the cap or design, then you will either need to change the settings
in the software or have the design edited for caps. Would have to see it to
be sure.
Is there another term we can use other than dandruff? How
about something like "powered sugar". Yeah, in the holiday spirit.
Ed

Hello Everyone,
I am doing caps and it looks like dandrift falling on my
caps. They are black caps. I've never known this to happen before or else I
just never saw it like it shows up on black. Anyone know about this?
