I love my embroidery machine, it's yet another way of being creative. I've had a lot of fun working with Battenberg lace. creating Xmas ornaments and jewelry (bracelets, earrings, etc.), ornaments using mylar. as well as the other usual items in the linens category for gifts. It's also fun to create the flat xmas ornaments out of felt, using the In-the-hoop technique where the design actually sews the font and back pieces together with satin stitching. along with the design on the ornament face. I have made the latter as small gifts for several years, enclosing them in Christmas cards to my friends and family, just a little surprise gift for them to hang on their tree, the projects are endless, really, and it's so much fun working with those delicious colors of thread!
