Just learned to do Photostitch(actually making the design on the computer. I have not stitched anything yet.) on my new machine. Can't do any sewing because the shop forgot to give me the shank for my sewing feet. But they did give me 2 embroidery feet. LOL They recommend that I do some sewing before I do the embroidery.

I would be a bit worried about missing parts...HOW does a new machine get sent out without the shank??
You should look up "included with this machine" parts list and make sure you have everything.
The sewing first (on this model and similar ones) is a good idea. It will help you become familiar with the beeps and other sounds. Read you manual and don't hesitate to ask for help.
You have pages of very nice embroidered items in Projects -- so I know you will be stitching in no time.

Well if it were me I would be far from happy and their comment of sew before you embroider sounds a cop out on their behalf. My machine will sew and embroider but I bought it to embroider with not to sew. Apologies if my comments offend they were not meant to

PS WHEN you get your machine up and running have fun and enjoy it

I hope you get the shank soon and are on your way to stitching. I agree that getting to know your machine first by sewing is a good idea. Then embroider some designs on the machine to get used to embroidering. The embroidery world and especially we Cuties are here for you. Ask questions and you will get answers. And we will celebrate with you when you are up and embroidering.

Hope you and your new machine will be happy. What model is he???. xx
