I bought it but so far have found it frustrating to use. I tried to use it to trace an image but it's really hard to control those lines. I tend to go into it determined to make it work and end up retreating in frustration.

I haven't looked online for help yet, so I haven't fully given up on it. But so far, not loving it and if I'd realized how fussy it was I don't think I'd have bought it. But EQ itself seems fussy to me too so I really should have expected it!

So far I have not stitched out a single thing from it. I'd like to learn how to use it for applique but I can't figure out how to layer the pieces and tell it to only do the satin-stitch borders at the end; it keeps wanting to put satin-stitch borders all the way around all the pieces which would put some of the borders underneath other pieces. Arg!
