Knight in Massachussetts makes the best hat presses around (and also makes them FOR other suppliers-so deal direct and cut out the middleman). For heatsealing decals and laser cut emblems, you want 5 panel caps-without the center seam. Only way around it is if your design 'splits' in the middle otherwise that seam on a 6 panel is going to give you nightmares. NEver do a hat on a flat press-that is just asking for trouble. Get a hat press! It is also great for preflattening 6 panel seams before you sew them on your Amaya, and for taking out the pucker in unstructured hats. Also can be used for names over pockets, sleeves, small decals on blankets-almost anything you don't want to fire up your big teeshirt machine for! I've been using mine for over 20 years. =========================================================== The AmayaUsers Mailing List Website: http://www.amayausers.com Discussion Board: http://www.amayausers.com/boards Subscribe/Unsubscribe: http://www.amayausers.com/list ===========================================================
