Hi Carolyn,
I've never used that machine, and I'm not sure it ever displays stitches. I had a similar Brother machine that displayed the stitches while it was embroidering. Perhaps ask in our Pacesetter forum -- someone who uses it may be able to help. https://www.embroidery.com/Brother-PC8500?efid=210... Here's the manual, in case you need one: https://www.manualslib.com/manual/355771/Brother-P...
