I'm looking for tips to digitize words for hats/baseball caps. I know it needs a bit of a curve. Has anyone done these or know a tutorial for the digitizing portion of it? TIA

Caps should be digitized to stitch from the bottom up and center out. John Deer has great tutorials. Here is a link to a few...

Thank you. I most concerned with how much to curve the words. My design is mostly a word.

Haven't tried hats, but it seems to me there are two basic shapes of hats: the boxier, high hat and the lower headed hats. (I think of the boxier ones for old fuddy duds.) I think the boxier ones are more straight where you would be stitching and would require less curve, unless it's a very long word. Hope this helps.
