When I do puff hats I usually use two layers of 2mm foam. Any stitching over
the foam I use the standard setting for the actifeed and set it anywhere from
27-32, this allows enough thread as to not crush the foam and loose the effect.
It took a lot of sew outs and tinkering to get the process fine tuned. I went
to the mall and looked at caps to see how they were done, how they handled
corners and which ends were capped and which were not. It helps to use foam as
close as possible to the thread color. I found all colors at Michaels. I have
also found that the foam with the adhesive back tears off cleaner than the foam
without.
