[amayausers] Re: FW: Cap Needle Breaks

Cheryl,

Sometimes if you move the design up just a little it will help.  If the
needle is getting to far down on the cap it doesn't allow the presser foot
to go all the way down causing some deflection on the needle.  You could
also hold the hat down with some scissors or something (preferable not your
finger, but it works too) to keep it down against the needle plate in that
particular area.
