The Xt 270 frame is designed to allow the cap to sit flat on the sewing arm. I have tried the CCF and XT and find that on some caps it does seem to work better. I always use the CCF on my Big Red Amaya. But for the most part the XT cap frame does a fine job if used properly. I, like you, have the presser foot down tight on the XT. All the way down to a couple of clicks up, depending on the cap. With a properly digitized design running at 1200 stitches a minute, having the presser foot down tight becomes more and more important.......
