I would start with between 6 and 10. too high a setting may result in too loose of a thread condition that will cause false bobbin/thread break symptoms. You should be seeing the auto activ-feed numbers rise across the center seam of the cap to sometimes as high as 20+...depends on the cap. Using the "auto lower limit" settings will give the machine a head start on the big jump between the light/thin material on both sides of the cap and the thick bulky center seam. If you are running fills, the "run fill speed" will loosen up the stitch and allow more thread to lay on top of the material and not be sucked down so tightly.....are you using this feature?
