[amayausers] Re: design on caps

ok guys,
all I meant was that when I did the design I sized it to fit a 12cm hoop. 
that is all I cared about at the time as I wanted the customer to comunicate 
what he really wanted and that was good enough for him so my husband had 
just switched  the hoop from 12 to wacf. I always thought that the designs 
had to be changed from as some say, flats and hats.
