[amayausers] Re: Help Sewing Caps

I bought my Amaya last year.  Took a little getting used to, but we
haven't had too much a problem getting adjusted to caps.   I agree with
an earlier post that stressed the importance of hooping correctly.  I
was able to see another amaya owner hooping caps and I think that was
invaluable information for me.  I slightly adjusted how I hooped them
and it's worked great since then.

Good luck,
