Cap Stitching
Why is my cap embroidery so far from the brim of the cap?
Caps need to be hooped so that the base of the brim is against the metal tab at the center top of the cap
hoop – not the inner ring of the hoop. The cap securing strap should be set with the teeth firmly in the
seam between the brim and the cap.
Why do I have poor stitch registration on my cap?
Usually this occurs from the combination of using a small needle when embroidering over seams and
other bulky elements on the cap. The needle bends or deflects when it hits the thicker area, causing the
stitches to be placed out of alignment. To fix this:
1.
Slow down. High speeds increase needle deflection and reduce stitch quality, especially when stitching
areas of varying thicknesses.
2.
Use a sharp, heavier needle (size 90/14) to easier penetrate the fabric and reduce deflection.
3.
Make sure your cap has been hooped firmly and that all latches are securely fastened to the cap
driver. Incomplete hoop attachment and loose hooping can also cause registration issues.
There’s a rub mark on my cap brim -how do I fix it?
Some cap brims can rub against the back of the needle bar when stitching, especially if they have a very
rigid brim and/or the embroidery is placed close to the brim. Simply place a piece of wide painter’s tape
on the brim of the cap before stitching to protect it from rubbing.
