Introduction
This CD tutorial was developed for those that are familiar with BuzzEdit and it's interface and are looking to learn more advanced techniques as well as how to create a custom hoop layout.  This is the first in a series of project based lessons.   The final design layout is the perfect size for a placemat as pictured to the right.

The videos are created and packaged with their own video player, so no additional software is needed.  Because of the length and size of the videos, they may take awhile to load - your computer or CD is not malfunctioning, it just may take some time for the video and player to load.  However, once the video has loaded, it will play as expected.

The printable lessons are in PDF format and contain additional information for reference. The printable lessons are for standard letter size paper, so you can use a three hole punch and create a personalized notebook if you would like.

All of the designs that are being edited and discussed are included on the CD.  I should mention that the lessons require you to use a design that was created in a previous lesson, so it is best to proceed in the sequential order of the lessons
