I found this VERY interesting link on Machine Embroidery that I thought some of you may be interested in checking out - quite a few videos with exact instructions on doing a machine embroidery project in the hoop - I've never done this, and am not associated with the company that produces the software to do these projects, but thought it was so amazing I had to share!

If any of you have already done some of this type of work and I missed it - please share some pics - it looks a bit involved, but the results look like they are worth it....
