to 75% off so I bought them.

I truly have to say I LOVE these little sidehopper scissors for snipping
the jump stitches.

Wow...75% off. You should have purchased the whole bin and sold them on here for a slight profit. You would have probably sold them all AND made a little profit!!! I haven't see any like these at Hancocks, JoAnns or Hobby Lobby....no dealer/LQS in my area.

Louise, that site may cost me some money. I like the scissors but they have lots of good prices. Thanks

I WOULD have bought more if for no other reason than to have
a pair or two for backup purposes.

But sadly they only had 1 pair of them. I used them yesterday
for the first time it made getting the jump stitches cut and the
"tails" cut close to the fabric without cutting any other stitches
or the fabric.


Will post pictures of the 2 items I stitched yesterday (after I get
the pictures resized).

Here are the fleece blankets I embroidered on yesterday.


One for my mother, I chose the this design so that she will
ALWAYS have a "full basket flowers" and she likes purple so
of couple I chose to do it in that color.

I pout her name so that nobody at the assisted living home
where my parents live could "claim" it as their blanket (it has
happened before).


[ATTACH=CONFIG]383784[/ATTACH]

The second blanket is for my great-nephew (brothers grandson)
"little man" Wyatt who is 4-1/2 now (wow does time fly) he is
the FIRST boy to be born in my family since my brother was born.
So you can say that we ALL kinda spoil him rotten.

I initially started with a beginner machine Husq Viking EM10 which only had a 4x4 hoop...wanted to make sure I was going to like doing emb...Well 4 mths later I was upgrading to the Husq Viking SE with numerous size hoops. It also has jump stitch cuts. The main reason I bought this particular machine was due to it's extra software you could purchase you could scan photo's into your computer then stitch out the photo with some twicking if needed i.e. shadows . I did my husbands family tree with photo's going back to the 1880's Great Grandfather thru 1960's my father in law. I'd love to show the entire quilt but since I emb all their personal information on it can't but will share some of the stitched photo's

Wow. What a great idea. This will be a family treasure. The program did a really good job on the photo stitch.
