Jennifer, did you get the "DesignShop' program as part of the package deal? This is your own 'digitizing' program...takes a lot of learning but it is also great for 'fine tuning' designs you buy from someone else. The 'freebie' designs you should have gotten also, is the Treasure Chest collection-I think 5,000 predigitized ready to use or modify designs. They are Dakota designs, and if you got them, very shortly you'll be getting phone call from someone at Dakota trying to talk you into spending $2500 on 'buying' the entire 60,000 or whatever design collection from them. Resist the urge...I don't know anyone that bought it all yet. GET TRAINING...immediately! There is a one week session that should also be part of your package...doesn't cover food and lodging but WELL worth getting it before you try running the machines if you have no experience! Good luck!
