This is the Utility stitch screen, which comes up when the machine is first turned on. Notice how bright and clear it is. The 640 x 480 screen resolution is what was used on early laptop computers, and the 65,536 levels of color matches the standard 16-bit color used on most Windows computers today. The screen is very sensitive as well. You can use the stylus, your finger, or even your fingernail. Because this model has a faster processor, the screen responds very quickly to touches.

Here we have the built-in embroidery designs. Because the picture had to be taken without a flash, there is a small amount of movement, leading to the focus being a little soft. In reality it's very sharp and easy to look at. The tabs on the right are pretty much what you'd expect. On top is Built-in Designs, which is showing. Next is the Monogram screen, then PC Design Card, Quick Reference, and Edit. The Quick Reference button is a cool new feature that gives you thumbnail views of all the pages in the Built-In designs, so you can touch the thumbnail and go right to that page. This saves the frequent page turning that we've been used to doing.

Here's the Quick Reference screen for the sewing stitches. For some pages, like Utility and Buttonhole, there's just one button. For the Quilting stitches shown here, you have a button for each page. This lets you quickly and easily find the stitch you want with minimal button touches.
