Working on caps with an outline is a recipe for heartburn...because you are now
sewing a fine detail that has to line up correctly on an object moving in 3
dimensions while the substrate (the hat) is bouncing up and down or moving
around. Virtually impossible to hit a moving target exactly!
So hooping the hat perfectly with a STIFF backing large (long) enough get
gripped on both sides by the grabber teeth on the frame. Then you want that
design to start from bottom up, center out. Have your design reset so that as
soon as an area is sewn that needs the outline it does the outline next...not
later on in the sewout. You want to get that outline sewn down even if it is
one letter at a time or one piece of the design at a time while the hat is in
the right position. As soon as the Amaya moves on to another section-that hat
has moved and can easily shift out of position. Like playing pin the tail on
the jackrabbit...
I have a design for boy scout logo-and the shirts it does the main design and
then outline with no problem-on hats I have the design set so it does part of
the design, then that outline (satin stitch) then the next part, outline, and
so on and it comes out fine. All fill areas overlap about 6 stitches at
least-so if there is any shifting you don't notice it and the outline is always
on the edge-with a 50% overlap for position. Rule of thumb-a shirt design won't
work on hats-redigitize it...but a hat design will work on shirts and look
great. Nature of the beastie...
