Re: separate section for embroidery:
I would like a separate section because I would love to see discussion and pictures of embroidered quilts all in one place. I would prefer that it be part of the QB as I'm not likely to go to it if it's a separate board as my main interest is quilting and this is the one I frequent most often. As far as it becoming "crafty" - since this is QB, most of the people using the embroidery section would also be quilters so it's unlikely to have much of a crafty flavor. Can't say ALL, but I wouldn't expect a craft-person would even venture over to QB.
JMHO.
