OK - I did it!! New Janome 550e machine!
I went for it. Let me just say....how did I ever live without an embroidery machine before? This is just fun! My grandson who is 9 loves it too! We have stitched out spiderman, monster trucks, dogs. We are going to make those into Christmas tree decorations!! So much is out there! I make dog bandanas and have always wanted to embroidery the dogs names on their bandanas. Then I saw all the fonts out there! Started thinking about all the amazing quilt labels that could be personalized and end up with a quality product! After watching Lorrie Nunemaker You Tube on the basics of embroidery, I also made up those so cute Make Up towels. Every gal I know is getting one of those. The machine itself is very easy to use and not an issue with tension, thread breaking or anything. I am using pre-wound bobbins. I use Glide 40 wt for quilting my quilts and this thread works beautifully in this embroidery machine as well. This machine is fun! Something for everyone! Yes, I'm excited about this product!! Just amazing, so many downloads and decent pricing for them as well. Fun toy for sure!
