I'd like to see how you try to explain this in e-mail.  Seems like its more of 
a visual thing :)

  Debbie,
      Here's a tid bit...  Have some of your needles on your Amaya ball point 
and some of them sharps.  Know in your own mind which ones they are so that 
when you need to sew with an appropriate needle, all you have to do is change 
out the spool of thread which takes me about 8 seconds and is easy as pie.

      Just a suggestion.

      Say, does everyone on the list know how to tie a knot when changing out 
spools of thread so that the knot goes through any size needle???  I'll tell 
you if you want to know....  Any takers???

    You know I will...NEXT TIME...LOL!!!  I under-charged this first time, but 
after I realized HOW HARD they are to hoop up and then you must change all your 
ball point needles over to sharps and then back again...WELL, I learned the 
hard way!!!!     MERRY CHRISTMAS, Ed!!

      Great to hear Debbie.
          Now go out there and charge them an arm and a leg for all your hard 
work.  Heh- heh.

        Just wanted to say that the Carharts are DONE!!!!!  YEA!!!!   Since 
they were on the front chest, I was not able to take out a seam and was forced 
to hoop through all layers.  One of the jackets had a heavy polar type fleece 
lining and the others had flannel like quilted linings.  After placing the top 
hoop over the inside hoop, I used a short screwdriver to tighten the bolt a 
little then adjust the hoop a little ( to keep it from popping off) and go 
through those same steps until it wouldn't tighten anymore.  I had a 3oz 
cutaway for backing, no topping and used an MT of 9, but after several false 
breaks, dropped it to 7 and it stitched beautifully at a speed of 1150.  The 
design and logo were about 10,000 stitches and so only needed the 5.9mm round 
hoop.  AFter dropping the MT, they all stitched without one break.  It was a 
purchased design consisting of a barn, silo, tree, fense, tractor sun and cloud 
outline, plus the placid font, which was in my older Viking software.  The font 
was GREAT.  So, all's well that ends well!!!!!!!        THANKS for all your 
help.    DEBBIE

          Thanks everyone, since I'm new to doing caps, that answers my 
question and especially since they are black, the powered sugar shows more.

            Ruth,
                Two things,...  Either it's bobbin showing up on the top side 
of the cap...--  tighten your bobbin and increase your material thickness to 
accommodate.
            or 
                It's the buckram that is showing itself in all of the needle 
penetrations.  Buckram is the hot glue like substance that is used in the cap 
for face stability.  We sometimes have to hit the cap with a felt lint brush to 
"clean up" the face of the cap following the embroidery.

                If your so called "dandruff" in only concentrated in one area 
of the cap or design, then you will either need to change the settings in the 
software or have the design edited for caps.  Would have to see it to be sure.
                Is there another term we can use other than dandruff?  How 
about something like "powered sugar".  Yeah, in the holiday spirit.

              Hello Everyone,
              I am doing caps and it looks like dandrift falling on my caps. 
They are black caps.  I've never known this to happen before or else I just 
never saw it like it shows up on black.  Anyone know about this?
