Basics & Beyond
Take a tour of Layout & Editing in PE design - learn how to manually digitize your designs - what are in the menus in the task bar - what do the tools do - learn about sewing attributes, sewing order and all the basics then go a bit further and do some simple digitizing with shading, text to path and much more.
Although this tutorial was written in V.7, the basics and techniques are the same in whatever version you own and is a very useful reference guide.
