Thanks Gale

I have had a Brother, two singers and now I have the Babylock Ellisimo one love it. The singer future was a great machine also. I like to do a lot of the in the hoop designs. I made my 9 year old baby girls bedding for her crib when she was born. Getting ready to make another baby girl set not sure if will embroidery or not. I did the quilt, made sheets, did dust ruffle and made the bumper pad also. It was fun to do. I have made wall hangings and table runners, etc.

My first was a Janome 350 which did a great job. I now have a Brother PR600 and a PR620 which I use in a small
business from my home. Before buying need to decide what you want to produce and go from there. they are a
lot of fun to use and not as challenging as many people think at first glance.

Hi Everyone! Thanks Craftybear. It is a fun thread.
I have a Viking Designer Ruby and have been experimenting with appliqué for wall hangings and small quilt projects.

I love seeing your projects!

What a shame, PamQuilts, I am sure you could learn a lot yourself just by having your instruction book beside the machine and work through each section. I have never had a formal lesson and have learnt to master my machines. I am sure you can do it.

I just found this thread and I am amazed at how many members have an embroidery machine. My husband bought me my first embroidery machine, a Janome MC9000 in 1996 as a 30th wedding anniversary present and five years later on our 35th anniversary he bought me a Janome MC10000 which became upgraded to a MC10001. These were wonderful machines and I got a lot of pleasure from all the embroidery that I did on them. These machines have been passed on to my daughter and daughter in law and I replaced them with a Brother Quattro Innovis 6000D and a six needle Brother PR620. I still have these wonderful machines and last year my husband bought me the new Janome MC15000 which I love very much. I am very fortunate that I am able to have these machines all that goes with them. As most of you would know the machine is only the beginning, then comes the expense of threads, needles, stabilizer, bobbin fill, designs, software , the servicing of the machines and so on. It is a very large hole to fill. Friends have asked my advice on purchasing an embroidery machine and the advice I give them is to remember that the machine is only the beginning of the first money you will spend and possibly the machine is the cheapest part. However, it is a wonderful hobby and pastime and one can create all manner of wonderful items on these machines and if you feel inclined you can also earn a little to help support your machine embroidery habit.
There is a range of wonderful embroidery software available, I have the Buzz tools programs and also Embrilliance (which I still have to master). I think I have become too comfortable with the Buzz tools programs. There are also millions of great embroidery designs out there digitized by wonderful and talented digitizers. Embroidery Library is certainly one which I have been with since their beginning and also Secrets of Machine Embroidery is a wonderful site where they have a lot of digitizers designs for sale.

Thank you Crafty Bear for starting this thread, I am trying to wade my way through all the posts.

My Father in law had a saying " A man who never made a mistake, never made anything!" I believe that there is no teacher like experience and so long as we learn, a mistake is not a bad thing.
