Welcome to a fun addiction. I got my first emb. machine last April and I'm trading it in tomorrow for one with bigger hoops. If your dealer offers classes and/or clubs, go to all you can. I've learned so much from the classes. Baby Locks are very user friendly. There are many places online to download free emb. designs. Feel free to PM me if I can offer any support. You'll soon see things that need emb everywhere.
