congrats on the new machine, ask away on any ME questions that you have, I don't have that machine but I have been doing ME for over 15 years. I am in the proccess of talking someone else though some of the basics that she missed while at the store. There is a bit to learn and sometimes it is hard to remember even after a class or two what to do and sometimes reading the manual is easier said than done. A lot of it is, (yes just like quilting), practice practice practice and find out what works for you the best.
There are a lot of others that do EM on the board as well so someone should have the answer that you are looking for no matter what you ask.

message for hubby: i saw it. i wanted it. we can afford it. i'm grown. i make an equal contribution to the success of this here household, buddy, so if you don't like it don't look at it and don't ask me to embroider a hat for you.
then give him a big ol' kiss on the lips and offer to cook his favorite dinner. ;-)

I bought myself an embroidery machine in April and Love Love Love it! I was embroidering withing half an hour of setting it up and haven't stopped since! Nothing in my house was safe from having something added to it in the beginning. I am surprised I didn't sew things on my husbands underware! LOL (I was tempted)

WOOHOO!!!
I say just bring it in the house and put it where your machine normally is. Take the one you use now and just put somewhere else for a bit. He'll NEVER notice the difference and if he does, just tell him....no, I've ALWAYS had this one. :)

This reminds me of when I bought my new Brother. He was already in the car when I came out of Walmart with my cart and the look on his face when he saw the box was priceless. When I explained I was keeping my old machine too for quilting he said "Oh".
