Cindy,
I use the WACF frame all the time. I don't seem to have the trouble =
others
do when it comes to the unstructured hats and I am not sure why. =
Looking at
the hat in the OTTO catalog, that is one that has a full structure =
buckram
wool cap. It shouldn't be shifting no matter where the design starts. I
have a couple of ideas.
1) It should be hooped somewhat tight. In other words when you go to =
push
the clamp down it will take a little effort. Also, make sure the =
wingnut on
the clamp is not loosening when you clamp it down.
2) Next you could do a real basic edit to the design. Add an edge walk
outline to the two flags. I would make the thread the same color as the
hat. This will anchor the hat down to your backing. Also, you should =
only
have to use one layer of backing which is mostly for purposes of
accomplishing better registration. I have embroidered those type of =
hats
without backing before.......with a good running hat design though.=20
Now with all that said, what I would suggest doing first instead of
continueing to ruin hats is hoop in the WACF about 3 layers of backing =
and a
scratch piece of fabric cut to fit. After you have done the basic edit
mentioned above then sew out the design and see what it looks like. Then =
you
will be able to decide what other kind of editting the design needs. =
Yes
the fact that it wasn't designed for hats has a huge impact on =
registration.
I hope this helps. May not solve the whole thing but is someplace to =
start
other then ruining hats.

All,
I have my very first customer order for hats and I can not =
get
them hooped where they do not move while sewing. The Caps are OTTO style
27-211. The design is two flags which start sewing towards the top of =
the
cap. I can not edit the sewing of the design as it was sent to me in =
exp
format. My cap moves as it sews throwing off the registration. I have =
ruined
two already. I have tried tearaway and up to two sheets of cutaway =
backing,
as well as slowing the sewing speed down to 500spm. Any suggestions?
