Tina,

Hoop limits is definitly something to be concerned about, maybe even more so 
with caps. 

Watching the trace and lazer on a cap doesn't give you the "real" pickure of 
where the needle/design is going to sew. The different style caps and the 
amount of poofy/sloppy/floppiness, for lack of better words, between the sewing 
arm and the cap will give you some real visual illusions using the lazer. This 
same logic would apply to very thick garments such as Carhart jackets, 
blankets, thick sweaters, bags and various other items...

If you push a line of lettering too close to the bill of the cap...past the 
sewing limits....quality will suffer more rapidly than with elements of a 
design that  is too tall and outside the sewing limits of the hoop. This is not 
to mention needle breakage, which can cause additional grief by scarring the 
rotary hook and or retaining support finger, etc....or...needle bar strike on a 
hoop or cap frame that could break the reciprocator jaws and/or connecting rod 
and/or bend a needle bar....

Do I run with out hoop limits on at times, yes, but when done with a "special 
project", I always re-enable the hoop limits.
