I, too, just picked-up a new Ruby. I've had one lesson on it. I'm going to learn how to embroidery and do great things for my children and granddchildren. I know one lady who does sewing projects and then does some embroidery on the project in order to sell them. I think I'll do this too, maybe start out consigning a few articles. The links on this borad have provided me with tons of projects. Everyone on this board keeps inspiring me with encouragement and ideas. Everyday is a new day of fun to learn something new!!!
