I embroider EVERYTHING!! The edges of pillow cases, cotton and linen dinner napkins, linen hand towels, kitched dish towels, shirts, jeans (open the inseam, and do repeats down the outside seam).....there is no end to what you can do......Check out the web site "All About Blanks", where they have many items available for embroidery...........get together with a couple of friends so your order is large enough to avoid shipping and HAVE FUN!!!

I love "in the hoop" designs...have done alot of scissor holders, change purses, needle holders and of course all the usual things

I did a roll of toilet paper! It was a gag gift for someone and they loved it...so...anything within reach is "fair game"!

I just finished a bunch of in-the-hoop tissue holders from Embroidery Library for gifts. I do towels, aprons, shirts, designs on little girl's dresses, quilt designs, both for the block and the quilting design. You'll have SOOOO much fun!

I just did an apron for our chili cook-off this weekend. My husband will be the only guy there with a personal apron.

I only like to use them on quilts and, occasionally, for sweatshirt embellishment. Unfortunately???, I have a gazillion really great designs and to make all the theme quilts that I want to make, I'll have to live to be about 150 years old, maintaining physical & mental health until the last breath. I have some fabulous Christmas season designs, but as the Christmas season at our house only lasts about 4 hours, I can't decide what to make.

All the above but what I love to embroider the most is I love to incorporate the machine embroidery into my quilting. I am just finishing up the borders of my horse themed quilt for myself. I have done other quilts with embroidery too. I just love it!!

My mind is reeling. You girls are so clever!! I just unpacked my machine. Baby steps for me. :) I have saved some PES designs onto my computer. Do I need to download WinZip to open them or will my embroidery machine unzip them? Help!!

If they re zipped files, they will need to be unzipped before your embroidery machine will recognize them. I use WinRAR as my unzip program because it has more features than WinZip.

Like the other replies you have received, I have embroidered just about everything I can get my hands on, from a clock face to a handbag to a bulletin board cover. Oh, clothes too, and quilts.
