[amayausers] Re: design on caps

 
Hi Phyllis, 

I had to chuckle a little over the last two responses as with the bit about
being " confused " I was pulling your leg somewhat----having a little fun
with you  and I believe I may have pulled your chain.......I am 62 this year
and my wife says that I have a warped sense of humor at times...please
forgive me if may have said something that may have anyway upset you.......
;-)) 

I am glad to hear that resizing/moving the design has helped you with the
capbusiness--those little buggers can be a frustrating experience until you
learn some of the little tricks necessary to get the job done.......

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!
