Title: Flex Fit hats
Post by: stitches4815 on May 10, 2013, 10:15:02 AM
Is it me or do Flex fit hats just plain suck?  I embroidered 72 of those yesterday and I thought I was going to go insane.  That damn elastic band in the hat won't slide into the cap frame without a fight.  No matter what I did it would roll.   :o  Oh well that job is done and in the memory banks.  Thanks for letting me rant.  On to my next pain in the ass job.

Yes, the sweatbands can be a pain with FlexFits :)

We sew basically only Flex Fits, our hoops are adjusted for those in mind.  We feel the same about other styles of hats when we are not sewing flex fit, so I think its just a matter of your hoops are going to be optimal for one style or another.  I feel the sew out on Flex Fit is better than most style hats we run through here at times.

I love working with the FlexFits, but the sweatband is a bit thicker than the rest. I think it is a Tajima/FlexFit issues.
I think that the Tajima hoops have that middle thingy a bit too low for thicker sweatbands.

Other than that, great hats.

Can you adjust the part the sweatband goes under on my swf hoop gauge I can.
