Hey Ms. Beverly, Ed Orantes here. I was catching up on some old e-mails and I saw this one from you (see below). Just thought I'd mention this tid bit to you... The newer style Amaya XT's are claiming that you can sew up to 3 inches in height on a cap that will accept it. Now for me that means realistically you can sew up to 2.5 inches instead of the older 2.25 standard. Of course I don't think any cap would look good with a 3 inch design anyway, because it would start to look "gaudy" (spell?). But that's just my opinion. The Amaya XT's have a different cap frame driver that doesn't fit on the original Amayas. Hope this helps. Take care, Ed Orantes -----Original Message----- From: amayausers-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:amayausers-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx]On Behalf Of Beverly Thompson Sent: Wednesday, November 01, 2006 10:37 PM To: amayausers@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [amayausers] Re: Hat hoop design size You can only go about 2.25" in height on a cap.
