Needle breaks can be caused by poorly hooped caps. The cap is moving and
causing the needle to impact the needle plate. Even with the CCF you cannot
just put the cap in, close the clamp and go to town. The cap needs to be
forced down so there is little to no gap between cap and needle plate. This is
best done by rubbing the front causing the buckram to take the form of the
hooping gauge.
I cannot stress enough. If it is not hooped correctly it will not sew.

Read and re-read this - while certain caps can be difficult to hoop and
therefore more prone to needle breaks because of that, the bottom line is
hooping the hat correctly and getting the front to take the form of the hooping
gauge is the best way to avoid problems... Herb is the expert. Watch his
video here on the site.
