Rhonda Lee - I have not tried it yet for embroidery but I plan to. I don't know why it wouldn't. Right now I am in the middle of too many other projects to try it. But I did use it to add decorative stitches on a quilt with my DSM and it was wonderful. When I did that before my decorative stitches were not even. I thought it was the machine and going thru too many layers - turned out it was just the drag of the quilt. I really can't say enough wonderful things about it.
