Flagging on Flexfit type hats

Are there any suggestions on eliminating flagging when embroidering on flexfit type of hats?  We bend the hat several times, clip the sides tight, press and smooth the front many times with our hands, and even tried no clips on the sides.  Still have lots of flagging which then causes needle breaks and sometimes a bit off registration.

    I read somewhere a few years back to try steaming the caps before hooping to soften the structuring.  I haven't tried it myself.
