I really and truly admire all of you ladies who read instructions. I do. No fib. My first embroidery machine was in the box for a couple of months before I took it out and got going with it. In retrospect, I might have avoided some things getting tossed in the trash if I had read the instructions, but ... where's the fun in that?
Today DH is home and I put him to work helping with some verrrrrry simple embroidery on one of the machines. Essentially it consists of placing a piece of tear away in the bottom and placing a strip of fabric so that the design comes out in the center third. (It's a pouch that is then serged into a simple bag with a flap - the design goes on the back of it). Mama Mia!!! You'd think I was introducing a project for NASA! This man demands precision. I told him that in this instance, precision is a time waster. Like Nike says, JUST DO IT!
He goes back to work tomorrow. YAY!!!
