I have the Viking Diamond Deluxe and with the thread positioning system it looks the same on both sides. If it really bothered you, you could always hand applique a design on the back overtop of the threads.

I make a lot of Tote bags, bookmarks, FSL bookmarks, Mostly for my family. I embroidery the cuff sometimes for family and friends on my pilowcases. They are custom to the designs. My family and friends get a lot of these things from me.
I love my embroidery machine and use it a lot. I have the Baby Lock Ellisimo.

Have any of you made dolls? I got a face (eyes, nose, mouth) and a pattern from one of the embroidery sites (can't remember which one). I made the doll, turned it, stuffed it, sewed it up, and now am ready to do "hair". I can't quite figure out how to do it and sew it to the head.
Any suggestions?

stuffed animal pattern
I make ITH stuffed critters for a local charity and am wondering if anyone has pattern suggestions. I got a very cute bunny from Urban Threads and have made a ton of those little guys, but am a bit tired of it now. I just found another 3-eyed monster doll that was free from another site - also very cute, but again I am getting tired of it as well.
Can anyone recommend another critter? I love doing ITH and would love to see a little bear pattern.
Thanks all,
Jane

I have a Babylock Esante and I love it. I embroidered the squares on my first baby quilt. I have also done towels, burp cloths, bibs, aprons and pet mats. Since I started making tote bags, I haven't gotten back into the embroidery part, but am hoping to work the embroidery into the totes soon. I love what one person said about how she uses her embroidery machine to make her own quilt labels. Hmmmm, I may have to investigate. here's a few pics of my work. The pet mat was great until I noticed that the word "Meow" wasn't exactly straight, but my sister loved it because she thought it looked like the cat was saying it. To each his own, I guess. I was ready to take it out and redo it.

I've had the embroidery machine for a long time, and use it to make labels. I am glad I have it though.
