Embroidered caps are everywhere, and AI makes designing them effortless. Caps need bold, compact artwork that reads from a distance — exactly what a well-prompted AI design delivers. SewFlow turns that art into a stitch file in seconds.

Design a cap motif with AI:

- •Bold shapes over fine detail — caps are viewed from a distance.
- •Center-front designs are typically 50 to 60 mm tall.
- •Avoid tiny text; if you need words, keep them short and thick.
- •Stitch from the center outward to manage push and pull.
Use Proper Stabilizer
Caps benefit from a firm tear-away stabilizer and a cap frame. This keeps the structured front from distorting as the design stitches.
