That is a pretty "BiG" question. There is so much to do to set up a machine correctly. I would google a dealer in your area to help you, it would be worth the money to get it done right. I live in WI and we have At The Heart of Quilting in Beloit, wonderful group. Just attended an educational course this weekend.
May help you out.
