Linda, good for you having friends that lurk. NONE of my friends sew, and I hate that in a way because no one to share ideas and excitement -- but the good part is that they love to get a homemade gift AND they can't tell where I have made mistakes ! (grin). I think the board is slow right now because everyone IS making gifts. Probably will get better after Christmas. MERRY CHRISTMAS, everyone on the board! ...and thanks for the advice on needles.

Have also been making Christmas gifts so haven't been on much but do enjoy it when others share their projects. Love the clips DJ.

Thanks for the compliments!
Here's the poinsettia placemat, napkin*, table topper* (reversible), and napkin ring set I made for myself. Finished just in time for our New Year's Eve dinner. LOL
I have 7 placemats (aimed at 6 but my prototype turned out fine), 8 napkins and 8 napkin rings. I know, it sounds like I'm short 1 placemat. Oh well.
*No machine embroidery involved with these.

Lovely! What do you mean "No embroidery machine involved"? How did you do the poinsettia in the corner? I love the napkin ring.

I love my Vikings, and find having several machines from the same manufacturer helps with trading feett and accessories, as well as just knowing what the buttons do! lol I don't have a dealer anywhere close, and that isn't great, but I don't have a lot of repair issues either! I have been making Christmas gifts, so I don't want to post pics because my friends lurk! lol, but after the holidays I can post.
It is active...maybe not with every day postings but ....active enough. You can do a search within the thread for what you are inquiring of.
