Not really sure; something to impress my 5yr old grandson. He's always right by me when I sew; he loves it all including checking out the fabric stores. Most of them around here have toys for him to play with while I shop and the ones who don't he goes thru the FQ bin to see what he likes; he always finds one he has to have or he thinks I have to have. I do see some personalized towels in some peoples Christmas stockings though. I've been downloading all of the free designs for months from one online site because I thought I'd have my #1 fixed but now I can use them for my Ruby and I found out that all of the attachments that I had for my #1 will work on the Ruby; it's great. I'll post my first thing; good or bad.
Just a word of caution the feet from the #1 will fit however the satin stitch on the Ruby can be set wider than the #1 but the feet for the Ruby all have the number 7 on them. Check them out as you are looking at the foot as it would go on the machine the number is located on the back left corner. Also check out the Viking website as they have a free design every month but only during that month after that you have to purchase the design so check it out every month. There have been some wonderful designs.
Something quick and easy that will impress the grandson is a personalized pencil or crayon roll. You could put his monogram or favorite embroidery design on it and have him help you make it. He can push the start stop button to make the embroidery go.
