I have put off getting an embroidery machine because I don't like that a machine does all the work and I just sit back and watch. So, I am pretty excited about this type of work because it feels like I am actually doing the creating. I will feel like it really is my work when I am done. However, I need hours and hours to get going on it, not just a few minutes here and there. So, until I have time to commit, I am not going to get the supplies yet. (I will do it on my regular machine... not a long arm.)
