Hi from Australia
My Wife has been embroidering and quilting for ever ..so I cant work out in the shed any more now. I brought my own embroider machine and having some fun with it . I always had to do the digitizing and file for the wife so its no great learning curve only thing I'm going upgrade to is Hatch 2 (wilcom) as the Janome 1000 V2 is a little out of date these days and only works windows 98 I also have SewWhat its a great improviser to resize merge reassign files change hoop size split large files does every thing except actual digitizing so I'm into large embroidery quilting ....Zoo
