Evelyn,
Go to a 80/12 "SHARP" needle. The ball point may be causing the needle to flex 
slightly as it tries to penetrate the cap. The larger size will also give the 
needle more ability to penetrate more accurately.

  Subject: [amayausers] Need help on column stitch on hat


  Hello Everyone in Amayaland!

  I need some suggestions. I'm stitching a structured hat, large letters in 
fill with a column stitch outline. Problem is column stitch looks real "jagged" 
almost "zig zag" on the outside edge. I have played with density, column width, 
underlay until I'm blue in the face. Any suggestions? Using #11 ball point 
needle, MT = 10 if that matters.

  TIA

  Evelyn
