I am happy to share fun sites (especially if they are economical) with everyone here! I am glad that you have enjoyed them :D
Snowb, I helped my daughters mil set up her commercial 3 head embroidery machine. After that I said, three heads are not better than one :lol: We played a lot with stabilizers and some of the thread that I had been collecting and I really enjoy it. We also experimented with free designs on the net and did not have real good luck with some, they were poorly designed and we got to where we could pretty well tell by looking which would stitch out well and which wouldn't.
I have a Singer embroidery machine that I will get set up and using after Christmas. Applique on the embroidery machines intrigues me, too :D
