I started in embroidery 12 years and our first order was 144 caps on a single head Melco. Maybe it was the excitement of our first real job or maybe not knowing any better but I didn't mind doing the hats. I still like doing hats and visors. I've run single head Melcos, Tajima 4 and 6 head, Toyota single heads, Brother single and 6 head, Barudan single head and Amayas and haven't had trouble with hats. (knock on wood).
