In this video, we introduce Panagram's Jumpstart Your Business training for getting started with a Toyota embroidery machine. We explain that the information in the video is also included in the Jumpstart Your Business instruction manual, and that together these resources provide the tools needed to get an embroidery business up and running quickly.
We then outline the machine topics covered in the training, including basic machine operation, getting started with test sew outs, communication setup, control panel functions, troubleshooting tips, and routine machine maintenance.
We also introduce the software portion of the training, which begins with Forte Embroidery Suite's desktop tools and their functions. We cover step-by-step digitizing lessons, including lettering and editing tools as well as more advanced techniques, so that by the end of the lessons we will have digitized several logo-style designs.
