Thanks for the info re the update. I've downloaded it and the instructions so will be ready when I decide to update - unless they need to make further changes! Once you unzip the file you will find in

Jim and others My philosophy regarding when to use the red or yellow dot case for embroidery depends - even with the same threads. (as you describe Jim) Having heard the 'good' things about pre-wound
