Jim's Gem,
Soon after I got my Bernina 440QE I returned and got the embroidery module for it. I am signed up for a class at the beginning of August, but of course, I wanted to try it out sooner! I didn't feel the little bit of instructions that came with the machine were adequate, so I googled the manual on line and came up with a manual of almost 100 pages. It still took me til 2 in the morning and downloading of a driver from online, but I finally got the program up and the machine talking with the computer (my machine doesn't have an onboard computer, but needs to be linked with a laptop). I believe your machine has an onboard computer, so I assume you want to use your computer to download designs. Try googling the manual for your machine/embroidery module and see if you can get any help there. Good luck, and congrats on the good deal on your machine.
Do you have any other Bernina dealers near you? Mine offers classes on the embroidery module operation also.
