Don't have any pointers for the machine, but I LOVE the pointers in your avatar!!

The Internet is a beautiful thing, and I am sure you can find a wealth of resources for learning to use your machine... I love You tube, also, just a quick google of babylock esante how to use produced the following results:
http://www.babylock.com/sewing/ Click on the link for "Online Classes" I would also talk to the nearest sewing shop to see if they know of someone to help you out. Then, just try it out and experiment, |
Congrats! You will absolutely love this machine!!!
I've had my Esante for 3 years now and it's only been in the shop this year for cleaning. Yeah, I got yelled at (nicely though) about waiting so long. It's a very easy machine to learn and has some tricks I didn't know about until I had it a while. One really nice feature is there is a "lockout" at the top so if you have a stitch set up and little hands around, they can't accidentally change your stitch. Any questions you have, just PM me and I'll help however I can. I LOVE my Babylock and the Esante is a great machine!!! Have Fun! |

Play around with the stitches, read the manual, and just try lots of things. I find that making a sample of many of the stitches on a large scrap of fabric is helpful as a future reference. (Mine also has an embroidery feature, with attachments and hoops, but I confess I have never used them. One day I will explore them too.)

I would love to get the "cadillac" but not yet in the budget. That is one AMAZING machine! And I agree -- Babylock's are very easy to use. |

I had and older Esante which I owned for 12 yrs., it was a wonderful machine and the embroidery stitch was beautiful. I traded it in for the Ellegante, which I also love. You will have many wonderful hours of sewing on your machine.
That was so sweet of your Mother, to give you her machine. Happy sewing, and may I add, the Esante is user friendly. Have fun. |
