I've had the machine for about a week and a half now, and today I ran my first board through it. I have had some 3/4 pine boards in my garage for quite a while, so I'm using those to test on. They have some knots. but not many.

I let the CW measure the board and then I put those measurements into the Designer. I added two patterns I've played around with so far plus a Fleur de Lis from the built-in patterns. I set the quality to normal so I wouldn't have to wait 5 hours for my first project to finish.

The first is a sign for my 6 month old daughter's room or door. I found a eps of the baby pooh picture and brought a png from it into the pattern editor. The second is my company's logo. A 2 color logo is easy to get into a pattern. However, I shrunk it to fit sideways on the board and I lost some clarity in the small lettering. The last is the Fleur de Lis.
