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.
