Edna,
If this panel you speak of can be moved out of the way, then do so.  If it's 
part of the cap, then sew right through it.  On an original Amaya, you are 
correct to use the raised needle plate.  Also raise your presserfoot all the 
way up and don't forget to return it all the way down when you are finished.  
Set your thread feed to "auto thread feed" and turn off your bobbin break 
detection unless your Amaya OS software does this for you automatically.  Lower 
your sewing speed down to something like 900 spm.  And remember to be sure that 
the sewing surface is parallel to the needle plate when hooping the cap.  Try 
not to allow your design to exceed 2 - 2.25 inches tall and use the WACF hoop 
(not the XT or XT extended WACF).  Be sure to use "cap backing" no less than 7 
or so inches long.  Using backing shorter than this defeats the purpose of 
using backing in the first place.  Also use a sharp needle, expecially since 
there's buckram, and it's recommended to use an 80/12 needle. 
  If you're sewing lettering across the face of the cap, turn on the "center 
out" feature in Design Shop for this design.  Otherwise, tell your digitizer 
that you will be sewing this logo on a cap.  They should know what to do in 
setting up the design to sew correctly.
Hope you meet these caps with success.
Sincerely,
