How exciting! I have an Esante and I love mine. I've had it for almost 10 years now, I think. It doesn't look like that one but I bet they work the same. Play around with the stitches, read the manual, and just try lots of things. I find that making a sample of many of the stitches on a large scrap of fabric is helpful as a future reference. (Mine also has an embroidery feature, with attachments and hoops, but I confess I have never used them. One day I will explore them too.)
