After neuroligist appointments, my husbund would chear me up with something... just after a discouraging appointment I told him that I bought a small embroidery machine.. He was happy for me.. and .. glad not to shop. Have used it hard to quilt.. the motor allows me not to use a foot paddle.. love my brother machine ! not much on embroidery.. but the confession came just in time ! 2 hours late it came in the mail !!! confess soon !
