That is not the easiest way to get into embroidery.
PS: ALWAYS get more hats than you need to produce. It never fails, something stupid will happen and you will bust 1. Plus it gives you something to practice on every once in a while. Hats aren't like flats where you can just throw 2 sheets of backing on the machine and do a sew out.

Man, I can second this. I learned this the hard way. As said, you need to use different hooping techniques for different type caps. It is alot of trial and error if you don't have someone with experience to guide you. There is alot of colateral damage on your inventory at first. Be prepared to eat some hats.
