There are many ways to find the information you are looking for
There are two types of people when it comes to starting out with a brand new software. Some treat it as a new exciting adventure and throw themselves at it with all they have, while others might find the experience a little daunting and take things a little slower. No matter which type you are, we can reassure you, there are many ways to find information on Hatch Embroidery within the software and online.
As the perfect starting point, we created the Getting Started Series in Hatch Academy to help dip your toes into the water and get you comfortable.
So how can you find out more about the different tools and features of Hatch Embroidery software and get help and support? Here is a guide to making learning easier and to help you create great designs even faster!
When using the software you’ll see the Toolboxes on the left. When you click on them, they open up in a drop down format and you can select the tools you want to use. If you want to find out more about each specific tool, simply hover over it with your mouse and press the F1 key on your keyboard. This opens up the relevant section of the online User Guide.
The online Product Documentation provides an extensive source of information and contains instructions on how to get started and troubleshooting for users of the Hatch Embroidery software.
