Emma S, I wish that I lived next door so that I could grab a handful of beautiful embroidery threads and come over to help you get that machine out of the box and stitching. I know lessons at my dealer and the wonderful group of ladies there made it so much fun for me to learn. There are lots of people on this site that will answer questions when you get stuck too.
Sad about the puckering kaelynangelfoot because your block is really pretty. Beautiful blocks macybaby and kindleaddict.
