Edna,
If this panel you speak of can be moved out of the way, then do so. If it's
part of the cap, then sew right through it. On an original Amaya, you are
correct to use the raised needle plate. Also raise your presserfoot all the
way up and don't forget to return it all the way down when you are finished.
Set your thread feed to "auto thread feed" and turn off your bobbin break
detection unless your Amaya OS software does this for you automatically. Lower
your sewing speed down to something like 900 spm. And remember to be sure that
the sewing surface is parallel to the needle plate when hooping the cap. Try
not to allow your design to exceed 2 - 2.25 inches tall and use the WACF hoop
(not the XT or XT extended WACF). Be sure to use "cap backing" no less than 7
or so inches long. Using backing shorter than this defeats the purpose of
using backing in the first place. Also use a sharp needle, expecially since
there's buckram, and it's recommended to use an 80/12 needle.
If you're sewing lettering across the face of the cap, turn on the "center
out" feature in Design Shop for this design. Otherwise, tell your digitizer
that you will be sewing this logo on a cap. They should know what to do in
setting up the design to sew correctly.
Hope you meet these caps with success.
Sincerely,
Ed Orantes
