Veena,
Finally got some pressing caps out of the way and will be trying my 3D foam
as soon as I finish my peanut butter/hone sandwich and glass of milk. I'll
post as soon as I get results.

Yes,  Jim was right.  I am looking to sew two letters in front of a fill
with foam on a regular hat.

What hats are good for Amaya ?  I usually shop at Sanmar, but ok with
anybody else.

Best Regards,
Veena.

I took the question to be sewing ON foam hats-not sewing the foam
underlayment....so maybe we can get clarification?

Roland, I believe you may have misunderstood the question regarding "3D
foam
hats". I believe the question was how to stitch 3-D puffy foam designs
on
regular caps...as opposed to stitching on caps made out of foam. There's
a 
big difference there.  I agree that stitching on foam caps is out of the
question...almost no one I know likes to do it.  If I have a customer
that
wants stitched foam caps, I have a cap manufacturer make them for me!

At least I *think* this is what the topic is about....  :-)

Cheers,

- Jim

I was told when we got the Amaya and went to training that sewing on foam
hats was a no-no...and figured-what the heck, lets' try it! Can't be much
different than sewing foam under a design!
Here's what happens-because there is no structure and its about 1/8"
thick-the threads will make that foam pucker up so much it looks like
shrink
wrap under a blow dryer! I finally got a fairly decent image but I think
the
'material density' was around 20 or so-you have to do everything to let
the 
thread stay loose so it doesn't    try to tighten up and pull the foam
together. Next up-we'll try and see how much cardboard would work to
stiffen
it-but then you have lost the 'feel' of a foam hat-by creating a
structure
in the front panel. I'm sitting on almost a thousand foam hats I wanted
to
use up-most suppliers have dropped them since everyone switched to
embroidery and not decaling-but the price on canvas hats compared to foam
is 
so close now it doens't make $$ sense to waste time on foam anymore...
If you want 'cheap' hats-Ottocap has ongoing 'auctions' of case lots of
assorted hats-I bought over $700 (5 cases) and paid an average of $1.09
or
so for them-and got plenty of hats for the 'cheap sale' for low budget
clients.
