Thanks for all the advice. I had read before purchasing my EMB machine that this was 1) addictive to some, 2) can be expensive, and 3) buy a machine that let's me grow. Obviously, I didn't heed the 3rd one ... Ha Ha. This time I will be doing a lot of research so I make the right investment.
Thank you.
MacyBaby, years ago I did embroidery and monograming by hand and it looked very nice. Unfortunately, I tried to do it this time and it looked terrible. Guess I've lost the knack. That's what prompted me to get out the machine and finally use it.
