If you are sewing caps on an original Amaya and are NOT using the raised needle
plate, consider this: The presser foot works it's magic on it's upstroke.
And for this to function correctly, there should be minimal "play" between the
underside of the fabric and the top of the needle plate. Therefore you would
want to run with the presserfoot in it's lowest position (give or take a click
depending on the thickness of the fabric). When sewing this way, the presser
foot will have to "push" the fabric down prior to the stitch being formed and
it is here where registration problems could result because the fabric has the
chance to move to one side or the other a little. This, of course, greatly
depends on the operators hooping ability and the fabric (or cap) type. For
example: an unstructured cap could potentially give you more registration
issues and thread breaks over a structured cap. Becuase it's more softer or
floppier.
Point here is that you want to eliminate as much movement in the fabric as
possible. As Rod said, this is called "Flagging" and is unacceptable by smooth
sewing standards.
