I have a Bernina 650. It is a stand alone embroidery machine. I don't know if they make them anymore. It uses the PES format that only allows me to do a motif of 4" or smaller. Brother held the original patent. I prefer the seperate machine so that I can have it running while I am sewing on the other machine. Most of the major companies make an embroidery machine of some kind. The machine is just the beginning. I have several thousand dollars tied up in software, a Magic Box and even downloaded software. Then there is the thread, stabilizers, different hoops etc. etc. I have used it a lot. I made several quilts with it including the one currently on my bed and my daughter's wedding quilt to name a few. It is great for personalizing gifts etc.
I saw one for sale in Walmart just last week. I don't know what kind of designs you could purchase for it. They all come with a certain amount of built in patterns, alphabets etc.

Could you leave the basement window ajar? So none of us has to knock or ring the bell in the middle of the night when we come to plunder........I mean "Visit"..........lol

The sewing area is a little tight but I can use the serger or embroidery machine just by spinning my chair around.
The room itself was originally two small bedrooms. We knocked down the wall between years ago and carved out a half bath in one corner. It works rather well. There is a chair for a guest to sit in and talk when it is not full of projects to go and someone else can use the computer while I sew. My step-son gave me the TV for Christmas several years ago. He knows I have about 5 years of Simply Quilts on tape and or DVDs. The dropleaf table the thread cabinet is setting on was my grandparents diningroom table and the little blue school desk underneath my Mother-in-law gave my daughter. Now that all of that generation are gone I like to keep reminders of them around.

I love your sewing space. In the pic of your ironing/cutting table there is a wall hanging of a teapot. Did you make that and if so, do you know where a pattern could be found? I collect teapots and I like that teapot pattern.
