I went through the tutorial in the instruction manual, but haven't really used the program much. I'm going to take a class on it when I'm on a quilting cruise in the spring. I am hoping that will get me motivated to used. At present, I have not gotten my money's worth! I really did try to learn it from the book, but seems pretty involved and I need to use it a lot more than I do to remember HOW to use it! I really am pretty computer literate so that isn't an issue.
