Happy camper
By: Gabriela on 9 December 2024Arrived really fast. Was a first time user for basically everything, using this kind of machine, embrilliance etc. Anticipated using the 6x6 hoop for a plushie face, but ended up using the largest hoop because of the machine automatically resizing a slight bit smaller. So I would say if you anticipate doing a certain size to get a machine with a slightly bigger hoop than what you are envisioning for extra allowance, or maybe I am lacking the know how to optimise use of the space. In the end I ended up laying multiple segments into the largest hoop and saving on fabric which was pretty nice. Other than that it is pretty straight forward. With the help of the vids on this site and some youtube/googling I basically had my first design done before the week was over. The rest was thoughtfully put together as well, really appreciated the how clearly labelled the stablisers were with details about their functions, resulted in zero puckering on a first go and eliminated all the guessing I would have otherwise done.
