Both posts are good advice.....Tina's question is very important. Is the whole 
design and lettering sewing from bottom up and center out?

The cap needs to hooped as tight as you can get it and lay as flat as possible 
on the sewing arm while sewing.

In a case such as this...the presser foot is being forced to ride the steep 
incline of the cap just above the bill and is sliding down this incline and 
wedging itself against the back side of the needle which starts the breaking 
process. Check the clearance  of the presser foot to the needle and make sure 
there is clearance..aprox 1/8 to around 3/16 inches is sufficient. If it is 
bent, you can use a flat blade screwdriver to gently shove the presser foot 
straight back to bend it to get this clearance.....

You may need to raise the presser foot another notch or two....what speed are 
you trying to sew these caps at??
