Sewing speed-start at 700, increase until you get breaks then back down 50. Probably you'll end up around 900-that seems to be the norm. Design sewing-should always (if possible) start from the 'center' of the hat and sew out-center to right side, then center to left side-as design allows. If you have lettering under a logo, down near the brim, do the lettering first. STIFF backing keeps the hat face in place...it's the material moving back and forth that causes a lot of false (or real) breaks. =========================================================== The AmayaUsers Mailing List Website: http://www.amayausers.com Discussion Board: http://www.amayausers.com/boards Subscribe/Unsubscribe: http://www.amayausers.com/list ===========================================================
