Gregory,
I've never heard of anyone mentioning this magical number, but then again, the
Irish say Leprechauns exist but I've never seen any of them either.
The Amaya XT "extended" Wide Angle Cap Frame (WACF) has a maximum sewing limit
height of about 3.25 inches. But that says nothing of what the sewing limit
height will be of the cap YOU have chosen to sew. I have always preached to my
customers to simply settle on the fact that most cap designs will be around 2
inches tall. I say this because at 2 inches tall, this will cover you for just
about most caps on the market that anyone will want. If you decide to make it
2.25 inches tall, let that be your decision and not that solely of the
customers.
Sure, if someone brings you those old "trucker style caps" with the 6 inch bill
board fronts, then yes, you will be able to sew a taller design on those caps.
But truthfully, a cap with too tall of a design is going to start to look
rather silly unless that's what you're going for. And that, of course, is the
opinion of many but not necessarily all.
So my magic number is more of "2" referring to the overall height of the
design. Also making sure that the back of the presserfoot is at least 1/4"
away from the front edge of the silver strap near the bill. If the presserfoot
gets too close to the silver strap, it will have the tendency to be pushed
forward into the back of the path of the needle causing it to break.
Best of luck to you.
