You may pause the selection carousel by moving your mouse over it.  Some videos require associated embroidery files so you can work-alone with the presentation. You may download them from here and unzip them. Note that the videos have been created over a span of several years, so the SewWhat-Pro workspace appearance in the tutorial may be different from the current version of the software.
