    Never thought about decorating my Husqvarna. It is about 15 years old and really could use a facelift!

    this makes me tear up! Thank you for a wonderful memory.

    I have every intention of cutting my own decals from vinyl on my Silhouette Cameo--just never seem to get that done!

    I've known non-quilters who have even put them on their mixers, bikes, etc. Fun!!
    The red bubbles from here are what I bought for my HQ Avante. Probably should've gotten the purple ones to match the lettering on the machine, maybe I will and put the red ones on another machine.

    I decorate all of my machines. I love Mazda Miatas so I have a "zoom-zoom" sticker on all my machines. I also love the San Francisco Giants baseball team and also the San Jose Sharks so I have their decals on also. My friends loved the "decoration" and some of them have decorated their machines now. It makes the boring beige machines fun.

    I never really thought about decorating my machine but I do have a picture of my daughter on mine. I came across this picture while sitting at the machine one day so I grabbed the tape and she now joins me whenever I sit and sew.
