I digitized a hat logo that is just text.  I'm sewing a Flex Fit 
Structured hat with 75/11 sharp needles.
The stitch length is about 1/4" along the top of the hat (text is 2" 
tall and hooped as close to the bottom as possible).
I keep getting needle breaks on the top of the design.  Raised needle 
plate is in and pressure foot is adjusted 2.5 clicks from top.  No backing.
Material thickness is 13.  I did get a break on the fill outline under 
the text but I suspect the needle was already bent from the longer 
stitches on the text.

I am going to try it on the other machine tonight to see if I still get 
breaks unless anyone can tell if I'm doing something wrong.

Thanks,
Mike
