I agree with Jeff. I never use ball point needles on caps. I have always
used a 75/11 sharp needle for all caps. Rarely a needle break from the cap.
I know it's a pain to change a bunch of needles for caps then change them
all back again after the doing caps but I try to save all my caps to run at
once since I already have the needle in. A lot of embroiderers that have
multiple machines usually keep one machine for just caps and the others for
flat goods.

The newer ones can run at over 1000, I am getting 4 of those delivered next week. For me, it just depends on the design and the hat style. And the hat design will run better if it has been edited from a flat to a specific hat design. Melco techs in Denver also told me to use a ball point needle on my hats.
