It seems 90% of my hat jobs now are for unstructured, low profile, 6 panel hats.
And everyone of them has a logo with fine detail
that ends up right down the center seam...so now
we get multiple layers of sewing on TOP of a 6 layer thick seam. Thread 
shredding heaven....
I'm even trying a piece of freezer paper over the backing to help lubricate the 
needle and thread...it did help with 50% of it.
I'm using 75/11 sharp needles.
Wondering if I should have heavier/thicker needles-will that help prevent the 
thread shredding? (go ahead, say it fast 6 times...)
I do double check head down needle alignment, that's fine, 'angle' of needles 
perfect, bobbin, etc. It's that hat type...if I switch to any other type of 
hat-no problem. Density of fills-as loose as I dare. Overlaid areas, took out 
underlayment.
Now I'm just down to the last thing to change...the needles.
Your recommendations?
Roland
