Hi David,
I see you have gotten quite a few responses to your question. Is the
problem solve yet? I have had great success with metallic on hats using
WACF. But before I go through the time of explanation.............just =
need
to know if you are still in need of a solution?
Also, are you on an XT or an older version Amaya?

Subject: [amayausers] Metallic Thread
I recently had a job with 8 caps (unstructured), polos, tees, and =
sweats.
All used the same logo. Parts of the logo were stitched using metallic
thread. Everything went fine except for the hats. It took several =
hours to
get the hats done. There was a thread break every few rows. It seemed =
to
make no difference whether it was stitching the underlay (density
irrelevent) or the actual fill. The polos, tees sweats sewed without
problem using a 75/11BP. For the unstructured caps I used two layers of
medium tearaway backing. I started with a 75/11 sharp went up to 80/12
sharp (don't have bigger), changed needles (to new ones and location on =
the
machine), but could not make any difference. The problem area is not on =
or
near a seam. I played with the material thickness as well. The cap was =
on
a WACF. I have done plenty of caps. I have done some metallic before. =
But
this is the first metallic on caps. Any thoughts on what the problem =
was?
Thanks.
