On the embroidery, I was used to using templates also, but the little I did with my CV, I found out you just have to mark the center you want and center it on the hoop. After the storm, Katrina, I made curtains for the Jewish church for a friend of mine - they were very simple but much appreciated because they had lost their church and everything in it with the storm. I have always done a lot of sewing - clothes for myself and my children, pjs for my children and grandkids, bags, purses, quillows, quilts, Christmas stockings, decorating dish towels and towels. I also have a Pfaff Grand Quilter, just the machine, no place for a quilting frame in my house. After buying the CV, I sold my Elna CE20 and I am so sorry that I did. I used a quilting foot to make up for the IDT and did fine with that. I loved it very much, but missed the IDT of the Pfaff. My 2nd favorite was my Elna CE20 Envision which embroideried using a card. I brought it back home and took it to my dealer and he fixed it - that's what I'm sewing on now while my CV is in the hospital. I've had several machines through the years - my favorite 2 were the Pfaff 1471, 30 years old, I sewed on it for 20 years then gave it to my daughter.
