I am going to jump in here and comment on the cap setting on the Big Red Amaya. 
I use the WACF, the raised needle plate and standard tension. for 6-panel 
structured caps, I set the number as hight as 18. For unstructured caps, 13 or 
14 may work best. Each of my machines takes a slightly different setting for 
the same cap.  I always click the presser foot all the way up and then down one 
click. I watch the stitching, maybe down another click if the thread breaks 
several time. Looping a tiny bit, lower the standard feed one number. Machine 
clattering on bottom of design, raise the design up a little,
It is like cooking; to get a perfect simmer, right size pot for the burner and 
make adjustments to the heat.

Ed:

Just tried the rasied and the standard needle plate back to back on a design I
know runs well.  Raised needle plate - 3 thread breaks.  Ran all the way up and
a click or two down.  Second with standard, no breaks.  Same machine.

It appeared that the material thickness and thread tension was very taught with
the raised plate on and that auto did a better job on the standard.  In fact,
after the first two breaks, I set the minimum MT to 5 but it still broke one
more time.

Checked the sewout results - can't say I could really tell the difference.

This was an otto structured low profile hat.

Of course, this could be a PEBKAC issue - Problem Exists Between Keyboard And
Chair...  :)
