I make personalized baby blankets, with name and birthday. Makes a great gift! I make them ahead so I can just personalize them and get them to the family quickly. So fun to watch Mom see her baby's name. I also personalize Christmas stockings. I have used my embroidery machine to quilt wall hangings. So far have not done a quilt, but that might be in my future. Red work makes beautiful squares for baby blankets. And in the hoop projects are great fun. You will enjoy your new machine!!!
