  • Flexfit hat thread break

    Hi guys, I am posting then going to bed. FRUSTRATED!!! Ok, I am sewing on the front of a 6 panel structured Flexfit hat. Using a WAC red hat frame. have done hats with this before and no problem. This is a single color sew-out which started by shredding the upper thread. I checked my thread path, checked the bobbin, checked the needle orientation and tried again. more shredding. Changed needle, no shredding. BUT, now it sews 10 to 12 stitches and unthreads itself. I have spent the last 30 minutes to sew 4 little letters. I am probably overlooking something very simple, but go ahead and tell me. here are my settings
    Thanks in advance for the help, see ya in the morning

    When the problems are up top, the culprit is down below. Change the bobbin case, change the bobbin, oil the bobbin case.

    Be certain the cap is as flat as possible in the frame. They tend to go up and away.

    I just shared a story of constant thread breaks and angst. It was the blasted bobbin case.
