Here's how it works: Load design into machine via memory card or PC connection. Place fabric and stabilizer (backing) in hoop and attach hoop to machine. Thread with first color and start -- machine stops and cuts thread when that color is finished. Clip any hanging threads, change color and restart machine. Repeat until all colors have been stitched. The two designs I posted here each took over an hour to stitch. The design with the monkey has 15 different colors and over 12,000 stitches! What have I gotten myself into?
