Please PM me regarding this particular machine--I bought what I think is the same and have some questions on using the floppies, etc. and embroidering--and haven't found the time to go to classes offered by a dealer an hour away; she is hard to nail down to a specific time--and she charges $45 an hour. I don't mind that in itself, it is just hard for me to break loose long enough to go that far for a half day of classes. So, when you get a chance and want to discuss it with me, I have some questions about using the floppies. The lady I bought the machine from was a teacher, so there are literally a million in her stuff already made up if I can just learn how to load them and alter them to the thought in my mind of what I am trying to make.....
