Kaelyn, do you have the link to the blog about digitizing? My embroidery machine is older, but I think it could do that. I'm ready to get back to working on the gold machine applique set- though I've put the hand set away. Too much "outside" work to do this time of year.
This thread is in the Picture forum, and it's got me excited to get back to work.

I am QAYG with the gold set of blocks, and love the way the quilting on these enhances the applique, and want to do something similar. I'll be dong the FMQ on my Singer 15-91. I plan on doing the blocks, the sashing them and putting them together with a second layer of batting, and then using the long arm to quilt in the sashing, and just a simple outline in the block. It will be a wall-hanging for my "Machine Shed" so I'm not too worried about how this will all work out.
