So right there it i not going to work, no matter what cap I put in (or if I just hoop a flat piece of material). So, how do I get a sewing area with the full 3" height? The design I am working with has arched lettering on the top with just the "l" sticking up. o the design will work if I can just figure out how to get the ful 3". Is it possible that somehow the size got changed. There is only one hat hoop in the list of hoops. I am a rank beginner with this machine/OS so am reluctant to change defaults. And Murphy has taken up residence in my sewing room! I have had a power failure in the middle of a design, lousy thread, designs that are susposed to fit but don't, millions of thread breaks, ad nausium. And I have gotten an error message that I can't find any explinaton for. I can really see the need for the training. I am starting to make a list of questions. What do you do about that seam down the front of the hat? I am getting lots of thread breaks there, And what actifeed setting do you use for reg structured denim caps?
