I have owned several embroidery machines and currently have 2 Bernina Deco 600 single needle machines and 1 "new to me" 10 needle machine (an upgrade from a 6 needle) and it seems every time I go to embroider something I have forgotten some of the things I need to remember. I rely heavily on videos on You Tube so seek out those tutorials. I have found the machine manuals can be less than helpful when I'm trying to zero in on a particular thing. The turorials are your BEST friend. And also look for a group on Facebook of people who own the same machine you do. I belong to 2 groups and they are very helpful when I have a problem.
