Pat, for the sake of a few labels, I wouldn't buy a digitizing program, but that's me. I'd either make the border bigger or do without a border. There are a few freebie tiny fonts around and also some label designs for sale -- much cheaper than a digitizing program. PM me and with your email when and if I find them, I'll be happy to share.

That is the hoop set I just purchased through Mr Vac and Mrs Sew.....great to do business with.

Congrats on the machine! I find it hard to stay away from mine!

Thanks Natalieg, that sounds better than charging by the bobbins used. I will probably bill her for a portion of the designs I will have to purchase. I could kick myself for not buying those Sunbonnet Sues on Emb Library when they were on sale!

Thanks, but I missed out on it. Should have purchased when I seen it, but I wanted to discuss with DH before doing so and he tells me I should have snagged it that he would have understood. :( Oh well, I'm sure another great deal will come along again. :)

Sharon, if you haven't purchased yet, here's a demo:

That's where I got mine! Have you been to their store? They have lots of open box machines ... soooo tempting!

Thank you! :) I missed out on the deal on Amazon.

But now, since missing out on the deal, I'm struggling with trying to decide if I want an embroidery machine only or a sewing and embroidery machine combo. :(

I have to say that I LOVE both my combo sewing/embroidery
machines.

Not sure at this point if I would want an embroidery only machine
since all I have ever had was the combos, but I guess that is where
personal choice comes into play.

Hi Ladies!! This is my first post on this thread so I'm sorry if this has already been talked about. I purchased several Anita Goodesigns CDs a year ago & they are still sitting unopened. I have the Bernina 440 with em modual. Any help, ideas, suggestions on using these designs? I use the Bernina designs now or some from EML. I have only worked on towels, quilt labels & a few baby items. I need to use my toys more often. Help!!!

I know there will be as many opinions on this as there are quilters. I bought a combo and pretty much never took the embroidery unit off so my next one was the PE-770. Although I have several machines, my work-a-day set up is an L shaped desk with embroidery machine on right and sewing machine on left. Works for me ... what works for you?

I totally agree with all of you. How about I start the ball rolling and start a new thread - I'll call it:

Embroidery Machine lovers - July, 2012

If you guys like it, you can post on there, if not I guess everyone will continue on this thread. No harm, no foul. :)
