Get software and learn to use it!It should be the last sentence at the end of the machine manual! I got my software just after I finished going through and trying everything in my manual.I only use my built in machine designs for testing. Learning to fix stuff (like thread that shreds) means that you will want to test to be sure you "got it" before you put in your real project on the hoop. You need to be able to use the built in letters on your machine so that you can test-stitch when something goes wrong with your machine. Do that by reading the manual so that you can thread your machine, thread your bobbin (even if you will be using pre-wound bobbins, which I highly recommend), get files from your computer to your machine, skip color steps in a design, and go back a few stitches (one stitch at a time). There are two keys to going from having a "never-used" machine to having a stitching addiction:
From here on out, I will be talking to Joan (and you) directly! My take on this: it is not an awesome deal if you don't use it! So, for her (and anyone else that finds this helpful especially those who got an embroidery machine for Christmas), I have created this tutorial. She found an awesome deal on an embroidery machine at a yard sale (everyone should be so lucky!!) but she put it away because she couldn't figure out how to use it. During Christmas, I met up with my Aunt Joan at the mall, and later, on Christmas Day at my house, where the subject of embroidery came up.
