    Beautiful embroidered quilt, Janet. Great idea

    Edited to add - The quilt in my avatar is part piecing and part embroidery.

    About 2 years ago I was searching for a new machine for piecing quilts. DH was with me, he would always go to the embroidery machines. When I finally decided on a quilt machine, he decided I needed an embroidery machine. Long story short, I bought a Janome 11000se. I just love it. 1st year I just embroidered on it. This year I am combining quilting and embroidery on it.

    I use my embroidery machine almost every day. I make gifts, Christmas stocking for nursing home residents, FSL angels, quilts, and decorate clothing......I could probably go on and on .... I love using it on quilts.

    Mostly I do T-shirts. For my DGDs and Breast Cancer Awareness raffles. Almost forgot labels for my quilts.
    Loved looking at the pictures of all that were posted. Marvelous works!

    I bought the embroidery unit when I purchased my Bernina 440, about 4 years ago. I have hardly used the embroidery! I thought for a while that I would use it for quilt labels, and I have done that a little bit, but not enough to justify buying it. At this point I've been thinking about selling it. It works great, but I'm just not into embroidery.

    Okay, my inexperience showing now. I thought all machine embroidery had to be done in a hoop, so what would be the "other kind"? I've had a combo machine for a year now, and I haven't tried to embroider at all, and that is what I really wanted to do. I can't get up the nerve to try .
