Thanks for the tip; I have the Viking Ruby and the Pro 5D. I just got the software last month when the Viking educator was here for the day. I learned so much. I didn't think I was going to get the pro until I saw what all more you can do with it; the portraits, the cutwork and so much more. I was hooked. It was the best $10 I think I've spent in a long time. A whole day of learning, creating and it included lunch and two snacks and lots of fun.

Looks like I have a lot of reading to catch up on this thread!

Hi there, try this website. I ordered a cd from them when I got my Viking #1 and it is so easy to follow. Plus they have lots of other stuff. It hasn't been updated in along time but they still take orders; anyways they did last yr.

I do. It can be a little time consuming but worth it in the long run since I can't get a long arm right now and not comfortable with my FMQ
