ok, with Anael's incourgament, I pulled out the book and figured out how to get the hoop set up and did a simple design.
This is a big step for me, I've owned the machine for 10 months and this is the first time doing embrodery. This is actaully my second embroidery machine. I bought a used Pfaff several years ago, and never did figure that one out. DH loves the machine though, so he's got it now. Not that he ever plans on doing any embroidery with it.
