Congratulations on your new machine, and I'd be happy if my DH put out an APB looking for me. I think my DH would simply assume that I a) got involved in the sales at JoAnn's, or b) met someone who was also a quilter and decided to have coffee.

Places that I like and get quality digitizing are: my #1 favorite-Embroidery Library; Anita Goodesign are pricey but wonderfully digitized; Julia's Needle; Five Star Fonts. These are just a few of my "go to" sites. I have no affiliation at all. Most important, keep your designs organized from the beginning. How I wish I had tagged, categorized, and filed appropriately when I began. You will be amazed at how quickly you collect designs.

You will love the machine. When I first got mine I embroidered everything I could. Relatives and friends all received gifts that were embroidered. Even the men as I had some deer and manish patterns. Have fun.
