    I also do that and keep it handy to refer to it when I want to make some embroidery on something. I am a visual person and it helps me a lot to see it made up. I stitched mine from one to what ever on my old bernina 830 and taped it to the inside of the accessories box. I never use that machine anymore. I should sell her. She is a real work horse.

    The new bernina has too many to do this with.

    Wow, you've been really busy with your new/used machine!

    Being another visual person, I think this is a great idea and may do it for my own new/used machine.

    Have you decided on what your first project will be with the new machine?

    Yay! I'm glad you like it! I hope Lola treats you as well as she did me :) She's a wonderful machine!

    She has a lot of stitch features. I don't think I used half of them! I wish you two a wonderful life together :D
    Give her a hug for me!

    I'm planning on working with my DGD on a baby quilt for her 1 yr old sister. My oldest DGD is 13yrs old & she wants to make a quilt for her baby sister (my 1 yr old DGD). :D

    That was a great way to get used to your new machine!
    Thanks for the info. I appreciate it!!

    no your not the only one..i did that too! i even went so far as to elongate and widen the stitches..to also see what they will look like. and since my janome 6000 is computerized, i wrote down the setting next to the stiches that i liked in magic marker!
    That's funny!! I was thinking that I should have written down the numbers when I was almost done. LOL

    No, you're not the only one. I find my sampler comes in handy when deciding on a stitch. It helps to see the actual stitch rather than the diagram on the sewing machine guide.
