[amayausers] Re: Flexfit hats - I did it!!

Lou,

I'm glad you persevered and worked through it.

Solvy isn't the best solution for caps because they typically don't get
laundered and cleaning up the left over bits by hand takes time.

Underlay is very effective at lifting up the top stitches so they don't
sink into the fabric. Just like a house, you build a foundation so the
structure doesn't settle into the ground.

I finally stitched one without a needle break! I took all of your 
suggestions:

- 2 layers of backing
- increased material thickness
- pushed presser foot back slightly away from needle
- lowered presser foot a couple of notches
- used conventional cap frame

Thanks to all who helped me get through this. No offense when I said I'd

check out other machines, but I was ready to throw it out the door when
I went 
through a pack of needles without completing a cap. 

One more question though, do you guys lay down some solvy on top to
avoid 
sinking into the fabric?

Lou
