I have embroidered blocks for a quilt, embroidered the sandwich with quilting designs, socks, tees, towels, fly swat, purses, jeans, bottle aprons, baby burps, and toilet paper.
I have had mine 2 years and the hardest thing for me was getting the stablizers right.
My favorite to embroider is towels, tees are the worse for me.
The mebroidery library site has a lot of useful tutorials on embroidery.
The only way to learn is to use it lol!!!!!
