[amayausers] Re: Questions on caps

I have put lettering on the sides using the WA with no real problem.  I have
put lettering on the back of the cap, but I use a flex hoop with sticky
backing and it has seemed to work fine... the lettering on the sides needs
to be sized and at least "traced" to sure it will fit in a specific
area...good luck
