I have an older model singer embroidery machine and just love it! You will get many hours of pleasure from this! Just a few tips to start you off...
join a singer embroidery forum..there are quite a few and you can get help and quick answers when you need help.
get a backup system for your embroidery files..you will start collecting them and soon have hundreds...you do not want to lose them!
there are a couple of embroidery programs you can buy to catalog your embroidery files..worth their weight in gold!
Enjoy your new machine! You can pm me if you ever have a question..or if yu need sources for thread, stabilizer, etc...Good Luck to you! Donna
