for me with the embroidery; I'm just getting started. I bought a machine last year (used) but couldn't get it sewing right. On this site every month they have free designs for what ever fromat your machine uses; mine is HUS for Viking; for a year I've been downloading all of the free ones and since I just bought a Viking Ruby they can all be used with this machine. I want to do the navity seen from this site for my daughter and the free standing angels so with this sale it's a good place to get them. This site also has lots of free projects that you can download. I also want to learn the cutwork. I know how to do cutwork the old fashion way but there is a kit that you can get that makes it so much easier. I'm taking the free classes from my LQS where I bought my machine plus I can join the machine embroidery club for free. Every month they do a different project that will help you learn different techniques for your machine. I also want to do bath/kitchen towels for Christmas presents and my youngest grandkids call me GiGi so Iwant to make them things that say that instead of grandma. I'm so excited to have been lucky enough to have been able to get this new toy to play with. I'm going to sew my first block on it this week for my civil war class and I'm also making a really cool bag that I got from the embroidery site to carry my stuff in. I'm sorry; I forgot to ask when you said you were just getting started I assumed you meant embroidery but do you also mean sewing in general. I'll help if I can and share what I know
