I've been lurking. Never wanted an embroidery machine. But....as I'm teaching classes at a dealer and have been casually thinking about a new machine, started looking at all the models. I teach FMQ, so wanted a large harp. Then discovered that I can quilt blocks with an embroidery unit. So I went all the way to the top of the line. Have been playing with FMQ and piecing. Took a basic lesson and first embroidery lesson. When I got home, couldn't do even one thing on the embroidery unit.
Went to embroidery club today. Wow. So much to learn because my machine can do so much. There's a new project every month. I think this will help my learning curve. Was there the longest and did the least it appears. Most of the doing is what's happening in my brain. Did learn it needs a very sturdy table. May need to rearrange the studio.
Now I need to get it out and do the class all over on my own, so I can remember, before I forget too much.
