I mainly use mine for quilting. There are LOTS of quilting designs in embroidery collections. Both Anita Goodesign and John Deer have some great ones. I've used both on several of my quilts. And I use 5D from Pfaff to design my own.I can scan pictures or drawings into 5D and make outlines for quilting or just use the drawings themselves. Infinite possibilities.
I've also embroidered some of John Deer's gorgeous Christmas Ornaments. In 2010, I embroidered Tshirts with our last name and Cape Cod 2010 in a round logo for a Cape vacation. Everyone loved them. The kids wore them every day - I made 3 for each of the kids - got the Tshirts at Michaels. I know they won't last forever, but the kids are growing anyway!
