Anyone use any additional tools other than the cap attachments for stabilizing cap embroidering. Was doing caps today, structured and unstructured and registration was not holding true. Any suggestions?
-
The bigest thing I have learned is we were not hooping them tight enough. We pull them now to where you think they are going to rip. That solved 99% of our reg issues. The other problem could be in the digitizing and the order it is sewing out. Got a pic?

Better question, what do you change on a tajima to do hats.
-
This may help. Not sure what the black thing does but they do it on all the hats.

Like JBlue said, it could be in the digitizing....is this something happening all the time or just on certain jobs? Main thing to make sure it that the design is center out, bottom to top.

Ended up being the digitizing. Not sure what he changed, but it stopped after sending photos to our digitizer and him re-digitizing. I can only guess he made it such that the underlay stitch was not as close to the satin stitches' edge, so any movement of the cap wouldn't be noticeable with the underlay shifting out from underneath the satin stitch. But I'm no digitizer.

WOW, that piece of "rubber" in interesting
Also, I tried Mooseman's idea about just taping a piece of "Hard Cardboard" (From ring binders) over the regular needle plate to mimic raised hat needle plate. That worked out well. You can see the difference with or without it.
