Ruth, Two things,... Either it's bobbin showing up on the top side of the cap...-- tighten your bobbin and increase your material thickness to accommodate. or It's the buckram that is showing itself in all of the needle penetrations. Buckram is the hot glue like substance that is used in the cap for face stability. We sometimes have to hit the cap with a felt lint brush to "clean up" the face of the cap following the embroidery. If your so called "dandruff" in only concentrated in one area of the cap or design, then you will either need to change the settings in the software or have the design edited for caps. Would have to see it to be sure. Is there another term we can use other than dandruff? How about something like "powered sugar". Yeah, in the holiday spirit.
