Got to be a trick to hooping up unstructured on the WACF....we ruined hat
after hat and threw the job out...talked customer into structured hat to
finish the run. So there is something not working. Even tried using the
cardboard 'packing sleeve' as recommended by trainer....that helped, but
really left a mess in the bobbin area.
Problem was a lot of the design-multi color, lots of detail, borders around
lettering/logo, etc. Never could get the hat face to stop shifting around-so
borders never lined up. And this was with the CCF hooper-at least basic work
we can do on it. Wide frame we ended up using only for structured high
profile until we got the CCF-haven't used the wide one since and no desire
to ruin more hats!

Roland,
I have used the WACF for unstructured hats tons. I use one tearaway and try
to hoop tight with the clips provided on the sides.
I have to make some adjustments to the design if it has outlines to get them
lined up. Two tearaways sometimes help.

Design is dictated by the size of the hat face and crown, you have the
formula on that page, but that is only for the wide cap frame and you are
limited by the type of hat, etc.
Conventional CCFWAD max field is 2.75 x 6" but low profile hats can't handle
more than 2"-and then you lose some height because you can't sew close to
the brim. Using the CCFWAD you are totally restricted to this area for
sewing and you find out fast using the auto trace feature.

The size of your design is not determined by the cap frame you use. On page
6-21 of the AMAYA Manual there is a formula for determining the maximum
sewing field for caps.

Roland, do you use the wide angle cap frame? I've wondered if
the old style cap frames would be a good investment..it seems
like we can get a larger design on cap.
Thanks

15,000 stitches on a hat with Amaya is nothing...even for me
as a 'still'
struggling beginner. I just did a batch of hats for a jeep
show last week
and it was around that amount, and have done a couple small
orders higher
than that. Real tricky getting the settings right-and using
the correct hat.
I'm still not having much luck with 'low profile'
unstructured-best hats
I've had good luck with are the 'flexfit' style with no seam
in front, med.
or high profile, and structured...
just takes more practice to get those others right!
