Hi Minda, I too was really afraid to try out my new embroidery machine. I had no idea what to make, one of my friends said i should make a whole bunch of squares with different embroidery on them and make a quilt with these squares. I haven't tried her idea yet, i'm still having fun playing with it and seeing how the machine sews and try different patterns. :lol: So who knows i may have to put these pracitise pieces together for a small wall hanging or something. Like i've been told , don't be afraid and just go for it. How about making a small table runner with some embroidery on it? I know once you start you won't be able to quit lol , remember to relax and have tons of fun. :D Denise.
