Dorothy, Have you thought of reducing machine speed what speed are you stitching at Anand Its the learning curve i'm trying to somewhat avoid. I've got 150 caps to do on my little single machine and they were due today but alas I won't have them finished until next week (a front and back design). There's one area that frequently breaks...just on one seam.....I could watch the design and manually changing the MT but I'm trying to avoid that. By the way, I did purchase and install the new low profile clamping system and it has made doing the cap backs a trully wonderful experience!
