Mary,

No you were not dreaming....but what you have to remember is that the Amaya's 
have been going through an evolutionary process. The standard Amaya ( Big Red ) 
as everyone calls them, has a flat sewing arm, an intechangable needleplate, a 
different cap driver, etc, whereas the XT versions have a round sewing arm, is 
not necessary to change needleplates and so on....

The Reds needed to be slowed down a bit to get them to run caps without 
excessive fraying or thread breakage...this was mainly because of the shape of 
the sewing arm and the flagging that was present with it at the higher 
speeds...(it's the reason the extra raised needle plate was provided).

With a properly digitized or edited design, cap designs on the XT can be run a 
lot faster..because of the round sewing arm, cap driver design, etc.....1200 
spm is not uncommon.....
