On the XT, while doing caps, the correct position of the pressure foot is to 
ratchet it all the way down and then come up two clicks. This is just a 
starting point and may be adusted to match however thick the center seam of the 
cap is to reduce the " hammering sound" from the foot impacting the surface of 
the cap. The goal is to hold the cap surface " down " to prevent flagging.

The NON-XT Amaya's are just reversed from this as the rule of thumb with them 
is to ratchet the presser foot all the way up and come down a couple. This is 
because the standard Amaya has an intercangeable needle plate. One has a raised 
surface and the presser foot has to be raised to accomadate for this and the 
other is flat and is used for sewing on flats......
