I wish people would post more in here.....we can all benefit from new tips and ideas....I have learnt so much from this board ...... As for embroidering towels......I have a small janome 350E which had caused me a lot if problems at first but once it got fixed its really working great......someone gave me a tip which I am using ...I don,t hoop the tower....I just put the towel on top if the hoop and placing a sheet of paper over it......the machine stitches over the paper.....which I have to remove after the design is stitched....it does take some time to get all the paper out if there especially if the design is very saturated but it works.....and eventually all the paper will get out with the washing......
.......I had also embroider on a jacket..but I did used the hoop for it.....I would like to know if someone here got another hoop for this machine beside the two standart hoops and if its worth the investment since I read different opinions iver the mega hoop ( doesn,t always work..? )
