Steve,
Another good reason to have 16 needles on your machine. You could
configure your needles in any combination that you see fit depending on the
type of sewing you see more of. Possibly 10 of your needles could be ball
point and 6 of your needles could be sharp. Sew on a baby bib or terry
cloth towel, use the ball points. Sew on a baseball cap or woman's purse,
use the sharp needles. You could possibly find yourself with two spools of
each - black, white, etc... thread on the machine at the same time. What
ever works best for you at your shop.

I agree with Jeff. I never use ball point needles on caps. I have always
used a 75/11 sharp needle for all caps. Rarely a needle break from the cap.
I know it's a pain to change a bunch of needles for caps then change them
all back again after the doing caps but I try to save all my caps to run at
once since I already have the needle in. A lot of embroiderers that have
multiple machines usually keep one machine for just caps and the others for
flat goods.

LuAnn,
For hats I can run certain designs on my one year old AMAYA at 950. The
newer ones can run at over 1000, I am getting 4 of those delivered next
week.
For me, it just depends on the design and the hat style. And the hat
design will run better if it has been edited from a flat to a specific
hat design. Melco techs in Denver also told me to use a ball point
needle on my hats.
