I'm with you. I only have the lowly Brother that takes cards. Don't use it much, it has a lot of Disney & my GK are now too big. Dream is to have one that can get designs off the net. OR better yet, an expensive one. Guess best deal is to buy the box that hooks up to net, downloads onto a card & insert card (the empty cards aren't cheap). But even then it's $200 +. What to do....?

I can only use 'cards' inside mine. I have used hearts and butterfllies in the past, and they looked nice enough. I envy you ladies with great embroidery machines. Recently a wonderful embroidery person sent me labels and border edges for the doll skirts. The labels had a cute little poem on it and I sent those dolls out.

Keep up the good work out there ladies. Embroidery is awesome machine done or otherwise.
