One exercise is using the Stitch Creator on the 2140/44 to create an applique stitch. You will see a good comparison of the differences between Stitch Creator and Stitch Artist. There are three image files in the zip to show some of the stitches that are created in the tutorial. Also included is a 9mm file of each stich so they can be examined.
