Wow guys, now you have me nervous!!

I have not been to training yet, just watched the CD that came with machine 
and I have not had a bit of trouble with my WACF. I have had my machine now 
for a couple of weeks and have done about 25 caps with no problems.  Surely 
it can't be that hard?  I would have no idea though as I am new to the 
embroidery world and my Amaya XT is the first embroidery machine I have ever 
touched.  Things look alright after the machine is finished sewing the cap 
as far as centering and all.  Do you think I have it all wrong and don't 
even realize it?
