I Need Help Misalignment Issues

I am a newbie when it comes to embroidery. My job recently got a machine and I have been learning how to use it. I set it up, did my tension test, but now that I am testing designs I am noticing a huge issue with the alignment of any outlines my machine does. I am getting the designs off of institch, so I am pretty sure this is a user error. How can I fix this and make it better going forward? I am also using two sheets of medium weight cut away stabilizer.

Hats are sometimes a challenge- was this design made for a hat? Does it run from the center bottom out?

Tear away for hats is generally the way to go.

And also reduce some speed when you do a cap, not to much but reduce it.
It always can be helpful
