As you have described the cap driver as two separate pieces it is definitly the
XT Extended version. When selecting the proper cap driver designation use only
the "XT Extended" one.
The presser foot on the XT Amaya can pretty much be used the same as you would
use it on flats. I believe the standing instructions are to lower it all the
way down and raise it 2 or 3 notches. But this would apply to caps with a
center seam and not necessarily to 5 panel caps with no center seam, bucket
hats or other simular items.
With some experience you will learn what height works best for different brands
and styles of caps. If the presser foot is too low it can hammer the cap
material and leave a foot print. If it is too high it will allow flagging
resulting in thread breaks, fraying and/or breaking needles.
The all the way down and up two or three notches is just a guideline....find
the position that works the best on your XT machine....as it does not use a
raised needle plate as the older Amayas did...hope this helps...
