If you're looking for ideas on what to embroider check out embroidery library. I use their designs so much and love them. Right now I'm embroidering designs on denim and making totes. Combining embroidery with quilting is my favorite use for my designs. I also embroider designs onto little girl's denim purses. So far the ones I made are cherished by the little girls that got them. The best thing I found about my embroidery machine is that whatever I want to do is possible. My best suggestion is read all of the tutorials on how to embroider in embroidery library's website. It's a very helpful place to begin your learning curve. Take your time and don't take shortcuts. Good luck and I hope you have as much fun as I'm having!!!
