Hope you have many great moments with your new machine. I do embroidery on my diamond once in a while. I find that I always need another color, you know, just a shade different! I am able to use sulky without any trouble so I buy it at JAF whenever it is on sale. I have a sheet that came with my brother embroidery machine that shows all the colors that they sell. I checked each one that I have so I do not repeat. I don't think that whatever I make will be an heirloom. Just fun stuff!
