    Fab-ra-holic that is so cute! I love it! I'm setting up my embroidery machine this week so that I can get a move on. Have many projects to do. Kitchen towels is one of them. Question: What size needle does one use for kitchen waffle towels? Any suggestions would be helpful.

    I just ordered the new Brother 500 from Wal-Mart that costs 300. I know it is a small hoop 4 x 4---but what I really want to use it for is quilt labels. I struggle all the time making them and donated 80 quilts last year to various charities. This is what I can afford for now and I will be excited to learn to use it and grateful I found something in my budget. I will stitch out the writing on white and then border it with complimentary fabric from the front.

    I see their free designs are in a PES format. I do not have that on my computer but can look for a free download. I do not want to have to purchase anything else right now to get started. I saw a free flag on the site that would be perfect for Quits Of Valor.

    quiltnut,
    I usually use an 80 embroidery or an 80 topstitch needle. Hope this helps.

    I don't know how many of you know/been to this
    embroidery website, but I just found it today.

    Although I haven't found any SUPER great deals
    they do have some cute designs.

    "I just ordered the new Brother 500 from Wal-Mart that costs 300. I know it is a small hoop 4 x 4---but what I really want to use it for is quilt labels. "

    That's where my search started but Hh actually said "if your going to get one..make it one that you won't need to upgrade too soon..cheap tools aren't worth the price" While I don't agee that the lower priced machines are useless who am I to deny him the pleasure of buying me a nice machine! FINALLY! He admits my quilting machines etc are tools of the trade and not toys that I amuse myself with! Ha! Little does he know!
