Set the retrace offset to around 10 points. This will tie your backing to the cap. I would use 3 oz as a minumum on the backing. Neither your underlay nor top stitch direction should be 0/180 degrees. Manually creating your underlay to sew bottom to top/center out will give better results than relying on default underlay settings. You will have 2 underlay pieces when you have it done, one left and one right. As others have stated, make sure the top stitch sews bottom to top. This assumes the design is not too tall for the cap and the cap is hooped properly. =========================================================== The AmayaUsers Mailing List Website: http://www.amayausers.com Discussion Board: http://www.amayausers.com/boards Subscribe/Unsubscribe: http://www.amayausers.com/list ===========================================================
