[amayausers] Re: design on caps

Ruth,
I was tired when I sent that message.when I said flat sew, I meant sewing on 
flat surface and the design should have been changed a little to sew on a 
hat. that was my question and I still feel that a design has to be tweaked 
just so for a calp, a hat  is what I call them. sorry I confused so many. I 
get confused too reading some of these messages but I know a little to try 
and figure out what they are saying. Rod came through and yes that was my 
problem. it was sewing too high up on the cap and so I needed to go in and 
change the sizing. thank you all for your patience once again.
smile it is a beautiful day!
