Congratulations!!!! I didn't think I wanted or would use an embroidery machine but someone permanently loaned me theirs and I am loving it. Several of you have inspired me to try things with it. I'm hooked and loving it.

Congrats!!! I love my embroidery function on my machine!

Whoo hoo! CONGRATS!!

I thought you were going to say that you did laundry too! grats on the new baby:)

WAY TO GO GIRL
I can't wait to see all the pretties you make with it..
I want one so bad, but no way can i afford one....... :cry:

Have a great time with it!!! IT is sooo much fun!

Enjoy.

I love my emb machine.
I started out quilting and got a Husk/Viking Des 1 and loved it for pieceing...then I went into another shop and found the Brother 8500...what a work horse...well, I sold the Viking and kept the Brother (since at that time I wasn't doing much sewing) then this last year I really got back into it again...and found I wanted much more and bought the 4500Duetta...I love that machine...and I cannot afford a Quattro...
My Duetta is in the shop becuase I feel it wasn't working right but I still have my 8500 which I will not sell...even though the shop asked me if I wanted to.
I love machine emb...and quilting...
Hope you love it as well, any questions pm me

Where is the best place to find embroidery patterns? I've downloaded a couple free and one I bought. I've had good luck with both but how and where is the best place? I was in Joanns yesterday and I'm pretty sure that isn't it.

I really like the designs at these two sites

Make sure that you go to the sale page on the embroidery library site. They usually run some pretty good sales.
