Dear Ed,
Thanks so much. I'll keep plugging along with my foam.

Cheryl,
Depending on the thickness of foam you are using, you might
experience
"pull outs" as the needle pushes the thread through the "not so slick
foam"
during those first stitches. Try having about a foot or so of thread
through the needle (I call it a leading tail) and hold it while the
first
couple of stitches tie together with the bobbin. Once you've
established
the first stitches, you can stop the machine and hand trim this leading
tail.
Make sure your "Inching stitch count" is set to 9. This is the
number of
slow stitches the machine makes before it takes off to run the maximum
speed
you set in sewing speed field. Every machine I set up at installations
I
make sure this is set at it's highest setting (9) so that it minimizes
pull
outs and allows the new customers an opportunity to stop the machine if
they
notice something is not right (very common for new embroiderers - thread
color, location, etc...) before the machine puts down too many stitches.
You can find this setting under the "Settings" tab in Amaya OS.

Dear Ed,
Thanks for the advice. I did a sew out today on a hat and it seems to
meet with the approval of the customer. Now all I have to conquer is
the potential problems that mysteriously "crop up" during application.

My goodness,
3D foam on .5" lettering. And you're new to embroidery? I
salute you! In
our shop, 3D foam falls under the category of specialized embroidery and
costs more. There are limits too such as fonts, letter height, foam
thicknesses, garment locations,... Remember certain fonts with block
edges
will need to be edited (capped) so as not to see foam protruding.
Sometimes
digitizing fees apply. Zig zag (double) underlay. Column density
around
2.5 - 3.0. Try to use a foam close to the color of the thread you are
using.
Practice, practice, practice!!!
Good luck.

Subject: [amayausers] 3D Foam Question
I need some help with 3D Foam application on Visors. Visor is 2 inches
tall and has a Brody Script one line design measuring =BD inch tall. I
have been playing with density and fabric thickness but I still see
little tiny raggedy pieces of foam showing on the outside of the column
stitches. I am using underlay; edge walk and a center walk to tack down
the foam. What density do you suggest for both the column and the
underlay? Any other suggestions??? I am a brand new embroiderer (since
November) any help is greatly appreciated.
