If you match the first thread color as close to the color of the cap, it’s a good safeguard. I generally leave the underlay stitches I’ve just created as a separate color change and then simply move it up in the stitching order, so it embroiders first. This really does help provide a foundation for designs that may not have been pathed to consider the curved surface of a cap. Think of it as moving back and forth, slowly smoothing out the curved surface from the center and eventually hitting the outer limits in each direction. Then I’ll do the next pass 20-30mm and so on. Once I’ve digitized the vertical stitch, I’ll next start to digitize a horizontal stitch from the center out (maybe 10-15mm to either side).
We call it a stitch in the ditch the running stitch going up and down a few times will fill in the center seam, and the embroidery will then look flatter in that area. You can lose a letter i in the seam of a cap, and if you’re running a fill stitch horizontally, the stitch can change in appearance when they go over the center seam. The reason why is because in the very center of any 6-panel cap is the seam that center seam is the Bermuda Triangle of embroidery! The first thing I would do is digitize 4-5 vertical running stitches up and down on the very center of the design.

In this situation, I would bring the design into my digitizing software, keeping in mind that I will digitize a running stitch right on top of the designs. Caps can be one of the most challenging items to digitize for and embroider on because the surface of the hat is not flat. This quick edit technique is also very practical with finish caps.
