Question - What have you embroidered? And have you ever done anything on a quilt? I would love to Embroider, just don't know how to do it yet LOL.

Where did you find such an awesome deal?

**Groan**

I bought the 350 on a whim last year and I have never -not once- used it for anything. I had big dreams. HUGE. But...never did. Hmph!

Maybe this year.

I make all my labels on mine only problem I have had is there is no spell check! Have done some redo's because of spelling errors!

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!!!!!

Upnorth, You sound just like me! My towels all have borders added, monograms, and don't get me started on what I've done for the bedrooms & kitchen. So much fun!

I use my largest hoop and quilt my quilts with it. Works great!

sylvia77: which machine do you have and could you explain a little about how you use it to quilt your quilts? I am considering an embroidery machine and that's one thing I would really like to be able to do with it.Thanks.
