Peter,
What if the hat is a low profile and when moved, the design sits too
high? I had that issue with visors.  Do I go back to Design Shop and try
to scale the design down?? And if I scale down does Design Shop
compensate for density automatically?

Cheryl,

Sometimes if you move the design up just a little it will help.  If the
needle is getting to far down on the cap it doesn't allow the presser
foot
to go all the way down causing some deflection on the needle.  You could
also hold the hat down with some scissors or something (preferable not
your
finger, but it works too) to keep it down against the needle plate in
that
particular area.
