I don't have experience with embroidery machines but I suggest you widen your search for hand embroidery patterns. They ARE on the www. Like Kris P., above, I suggest urbanthreads.com--I've used some of their patterns which are available in either format and they have very modern, trendy offerings and also more traditional ones. Another source for patterns, stitches and referrals to embroidery sites is Mary Corbett's needlenthread.com. The last suggestion is to investigate Pinterest and connect to beautiful work from around the world.
