After getting all the input for the last couple weeks about how to
set up for beanies,
I was going to send out an order of 48-being too time consuming to do
here.
But the other shop is fully booked and can't get to it until after
Jan. 2, and I need them
by thursday...so I bit down hard and figured I'd give it a shot!
I checked with what they wanted for design file, and was surprised
when told to just
set it up for a regular shirt and run it!
After all the problems with other beanies and knit caps-and bad
results-trying to get
underlayment, background tie down, etc. I was hesitant to try her
method...
but did.
WOW! 3 oz. tearway behind it, 1 layer of solvy on top, and using just
the speed frame
with only 3" backing coming off a roll (thanks, who ever posted that
tip last summer-what
a savings in material!) I'm running a beanie every 4 or 5
minutes...not enough time to
get rid of excess solvy in between!
So all the worrying about creating the extra underlayment, etc. was
for nothing.
I'm up to about #40, and only 1 stitch break so far...and only
changed bobbin twice.
The auto setting is the BEST for this!
Happy Holidays everyone...
these hats, a heavy jacket, and a dozen ball caps tomorrow and I'm
DONE...
no more orders until after New Year's...I'm taking a break!
