Introduction
Welcome to the exciting and fun world of machine embroidery.
Your eMotions machine should give you many, many hours of fun
and creativity. To familiarize yourself with the machine and how it
works, it is recommended that you read through this manual. Your
experience will be much more fun if you are familiar with the parts
of the machine, what each one does and where to reference it
again when you need more information.
Use supplies recommended for use with embroidery. Many
products look the same but are not made especially for machine
embroidery. Needles, threads and stabilizers are the main
products you will want to keep on hand to make your embroidery
experience easier. When you have the products handy and ready
to use, you’ll be more apt to use your machine more often. It will
be great for gifts for family and friends. They’ll be so impressed
with your new talent when you make special gifts for them.
Enhance your home décor with pillows, towels, even wall hangings
and quilts. Use your machine for scrap-booking or card making.
Your cards will be extra special! There is no limit to your creativity!
Best of all, you’ll have many hours of relaxation and fun!
Every effort has been made to make your eMotions User’s Guide accurate and as easy to understand as possible. OESD, Inc. is not
responsible for any errors or ommissions.

Optional Tools
To get the most from your eMotions embroidery machine you will want
to connect it to a Personal Computer. Explorations Lite software
has been included with your machine. (See the Explorations
Installation Notes for information on installing this software on
your computer.) By using the Explorations Lite software, you
can add more designs to your collection as well as many other
great features. The software gives you the ability to connect to
the Internet and get more designs, ideas for projects, and new
information about your machine. Note: You do not need to be connected
to the internet to use the software.
With the Explorations Lite software you can see your design before you
sew it. You can size, rotate and mirror image the design as well
as add lettering to personalize your projects. Changing colors of
the design is simple. Using the Explorations Lite software simply
changes the color of the design on the screen and sees what the
design will look like with the new colors, without having to sew out
the design.
With the included OESD Navigator, you can see the design sew on
the computer screen as it is sewing on the machine. This is really
helpful if you happen to want to skip part of the design. Simply
stop the machine from the Navigator software, go forward through
the design and then tell the machine to move to that point. If your
machine has a problem you can also back up through the design
using the Navigator. This can be a real time saver as well as being
much easier than backing up with the arrow keys on the machine.
(See Quick Start Guide for more information.)
The Explorations Lite software is very powerful, fun and easy to
use. You can even get more from your machine by upgrading
your Explorations Lite software to Explorations Basic software
or Explorations Galaxy. You can create new designs as well as
edit pre-digitized designs plus have many more features at your
fingertips.
