I think you'll be okay. May want to practice first on one or two. Put down some double zig zag underlay to help cover the foam underneath (I'm assuming it's white) and lower the density setting on the underlay from 25 to about 12.5 . Density could be about a 3.5 and this is depending on what the design looks like. I think these might be easier than most hats because of the "cheesy" bill board rectangular front. Material thickness may have to be increased a little to accommodate the spongy foam. Otherwise it will pull on the thread too much. If there isn't much buckram backing behind the foam, be sure to use one or two layers of tear away backing. Again, practice on one or two. Ed Ed & Maralien Orantes E.M.

Hi all, I am emailing from my wife's email, my email seems to be down (I can receive email but can't send from my account). So if you get this please post a response, thanks. I transported the amaya successfully. Thanks for the help. Now I have a customer who already has a few hundred cheap foamy hats for a U.S. Veterans group. I think this is like that cheap foamy hats you see at the truck stops... I am meeting with customer in the morning to see for sure. But I am curious assuming that's the type of hat... has anyone embroidered on these cheasy foamy hats? If so, I was worried too much density may just tear through the stuff (if they don't have any buckram etc.). Based on the customers specific description, I am almost certain these are those type of hats... if they are, can the amaya sew these okay? I don't want to take the job, only to find out we can't sew on this type of foam... thanks, Peter Strike Indianapolis, IN Aaron Sargent The Linen Barn linen@xxxxxxxxxxx Medford, Oregon
