I have the Ellegante also. I have done several this way and find I am very happy with the results, and for me right now I don't see the need to spend so much time learning and getting things right with embroiderying layer. I use the tearaway stabilizer on the back, spend an evening watching shows while tearing it off and picking out any little pieces once each piece is embroidered. You may want to start this way and see if this is all you need to do to finish your projects.
