Use lots of backing. Maybe use cutaway so its more stable. Sometimes we use double heavy tearaway and a single layer of heavy cutaway on difficult hats like those. Just make sure if you use both backings that the cutaway is against the hat so you can tear off the tearaway and get to the cutaway to cut. We have some hats with around 20k stitches and 12 or so colors with lots of registration issues that we do this on.
