    I today just purchased a brother SE 350 machine that was marked down to $150. Seriously could NOT pass that deal up...The machine does Embroider AND reg. sewing.

    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.

    The sky is the limit, if you can dream it up, you can do it.

    I did a family tree quilt, embroidering each square with an ancestors name, birth, death and marriage dates, and locations. In my avatar you will see on the left side is my hubby's grandma's ancestors, the middle is his grandparents and their children. The right side is his grandfather's line. Photos on top belong to his grandma's side and on the bottom his grandfather's..

    just don't be afraid of it. I used an old sheet for practice cut my squares about 7 inches got some Stitch and Tear Pellon interfacing Cut a square to put under the fabric. Hoop it and place the hoop on the machine choose your design lower the pressure foot and hit the button! Away it goes it tells you when to change thread colors. I like to stitch out the design on this scrap fabric so I can see where I might want to change colors in the design. Come on give it a whirl you are going to love it! If you put a design on t shirts or sweatshirts use iron on interfacing. Nothing in the house was safe from me once I started. My towels have names and monograms my doilies have butterfly's placemats got roosters there was no stopping me!

    Wow, what a great deal! I've always wanted one, but the price has always scarred me. Guess I should look at my Walmart! Congrats on the deal!
