I have tried it out and played with it ... and so far I really like it (don't like the auto threader ... it isn't auto to me ... frustrated me to no end).

The lady at the store where I made my purchased it informed me she would show me how to do the embrodiery. She told me to first check out the machine, learn as much about it and play with it, and when I'm ready she will show me more about the machine.

I feel guilty for spending so much, but the hubby told me that he knew I needed a new one and that he had researched based on what I wanted, and this was the machine to get.

I traded a new machine for a cricut. I wanted to get a cricut...

Oh Lord what have I gotten into?
