Just put the item you want to embroider in the hoop (the 300E comes with a Standard 5” x 4.3” hoop and a 5.5” x 7.9” Large hoop). Choose the design you want to embroider and position it on the bright, LCD screen. You can bring in designs on PC Design Cards, ATA PC Cards or select from 90 built-in designs. Then, attach the hoop to the telescoping carriage arm and press the Embroidery mode key. You’re embroidering! The MC300E even stops and tells you when to change thread color.
