Hey All-
On the presser foot... It was all the way up, and there was no play between
it and the hat fabric. I was in maintence mode and had the needle in the
bottom center as I would when checking to see how things look before sewing
out any garment.
If the presser foot was all the way up and I still got the "material burn",
what should I look for.
As far as structured or unstructured... I am not sure what that means.
They are baseball caps. Guess I need a little help or need to look up the
term ;)
We had a complex logo to embroider, and I think I am going to have to pass
on that one for now. We do it fine on t-s and polos but the hat's gonna
take some fiddling with to get right. I then tried a simpler design with
just some lettering and a small stock design which ran better but still had
the issues I described.

I think some of it depends on if you are working on structured or
unstructured hats. If it is structured we run it with the pressure foot all
the way up. Not quite so far for unstructured. What you are describing as
worn I think everyone refers to as material burn and it means the it is
hitting too much and should be raised. We also ran some hats today and the
material thickness on them was a 12. We adjusted the bobbin thickness a
little bit tighter so the top was not loose and just right.
Hope this helps some as we don't have years of experience ourselves. Just
coming up on one for us.
Happy Stitching, LiVawne

Hey All:
Need some tips for doing hats. How to set up properly etc.
We did our first venture into the fun world of hats today and while not a
failure, we weren't a rousing success either.
I'm a little confused about the presser foot. It said to either run it all
the way up or just touching as we normally do. Well, I went to adjust it
and it appears that moving the wheel up or down had no effect at all.
Simply put, with the head down, down looked the same as up. Can't figure
that out.
Also, we ran the fabric setting on 9 initially, and that was way too loose.
Backed it off to 7 and it looked ok, but it almost looks like the fabric is
getting worn from sewing... Maybe the presser foot is slamming into it.
What kind of sounds should we hear? The WACF seems to be a bit noisier. Of
course, we are using the raised needle plate as well as recommended. I just
feel like I am forgetting something. We re watched the instruction videos
though...
Any suggestions for digitizing for caps?
JOHN
