Hats that I've always used for team sports. For some reason, I am having difficulties. Needle breaks...I have made sure the hats are secured tight, I'm not sewing too close to the bill, my needle is a 80/12, I did bottom center and the needle is smack in the middle. These hats are structured and my backing is very stiff. Still needle breaks AND the cardboard around the bobbin looks like it's getting eaten up by the needle. Any suggestions/advise I'd appreciate it.
