Welcome to the Spangle Elite Training Course
Congratulations on the purchase of your new Spangle Elite machine! This machine gives you the ability to add bling to your garment without the bulky and raised feeling of a rhinestone.
If you have not been enrolled by your ColDesi Customer Care Representative please call 1-800-891-1094 for access.
By the end of this training course, you will be able to:
- Properly unbox and set-up your Spangle Elite machine
- Properly install and set-up your Spangle Elite Software.
- Successfully load the clear, transfer paper into the machine.
- Send over a pre-designed graphic from the Elite software to the machine.
- Properly install the HotFix Design Software.
- Design your first graphics using the HotFix software.
- Send your designed graphics to the machine.
- Change the punch size and spangle tape on your Spangle Elite machine.
- Press your finished spangle transfer onto a garment.
“Proper training is the best preparation for success.”
Please don’t skip lessons, or ignore details because following the instructions WILL save you time and money. It’s exciting to know you can create your own custom shirts, etc. But trying to figure things out on your own can lead to lots of wasted paper, spangle tape and t-shirts.
As part of the On-Boarding process, your Customer Care Representative (CCR) will enroll you in the training course(s) you need access to. If you have not gotten in contact with your CCR yet, give them a call at 800-891-1094, and the will get you set-up for success.
