Good morning all, I have a baseball cap design that is giving me fits. I generally do not have a problem running caps, but his one has got me stumped. Simple design, two large solid filled numbers with some accent colors and a star in the center of one the numbers. The star is stitched with metallic thread. The cap is a structured Harriton M855. I am getting quite a few thread breaks. And they are not consistant, so I have no way of altering the design to get the stitch out to improve. I got through the two dozen hats, but it was not in a timely manner. I was using sharps 80/12, but actually got fewer thread breaks when I switched to BP. I left the 80/12 on the metallic thread needle. Thread breaks were not always on the hat seams either. Long story Long:) ...is it a must that the presser foot always be in the highest position when running caps? Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. The customer loved the hats and called yesterday to get another dozen! I was kind of hoping to have time to play with the design more before I needed to do another run!:) Thanks, LuAnn @ Image Embroidery Because Your "Image" Matters =========================================================== The AmayaUsers Mailing List Website: http://www.amayausers.com Discussion Board: http://www.amayausers.com/boards Subscribe/Unsubscribe: http://www.amayausers.com/list ===========================================================
