Even more so than quilting my first love is machine embroidery… I have a Janome 9700 and it is a wonderful machine, does everything I need and more. I started machine embroidering more than 3+ years ago and I am totally addicted. I include machine embroidery in many of my quilts. I also crochet (love it) and knit—not crazy about knitting—but have been doing both for over 60+ years. Used to hand embroider, but those days are long gone...
