The basting stitches can be downloaded for free--3 hoop sizes--for saving to a card or memory pockets on your machine. If yours is connected to computer, just send the hoop appropriate to the machine first, and then your design. Of course, they can be saved to the flash drive also. I opened them in my machine and saved to 'pockets' on the Bro ULT--so my basting stitches are always just a touch before choosing the design. I forget where they are--several places, I think--just Google for 'hoop basting stitches'.
