I embroidered pillow cases and sheets for each of the children (6) for CHRISTmas one year. I also take a pretty piece of fabric and make neat little decorations with sayings for friends and place them in a wooden embroidery hoop. Then I surround the hoop with lace or decorative trim and it makes a cute little trinket for them to put on their wall. I also embroider initials on table napkins and handkerchiefs.

I make mostly crib/lap quilts with my machine embroidery.
There are so many baby/children designs available.
For the crib quilts a design pkg for 4 X 4 designs work into great blocks. For the lap quilts the 5 X 7 design pkg is great.
Theres always enough designs to make enough blocks for a quilt. theres so much versitility to piece them into really cute quilts for family or gifts. And I use one of the designs for a cute label for the back.

My lucky sister has a Husqvarna (I don't remember which model). I'm her lucky sister, because she lets me use it! :o) She made this cowboy themed fleece throw for my grandson. I like how she braided the edges...better than the usual knots. We made fleece scarves for Christmas presents that turned out really nice too. I would have posted more pix, but not sure how to add more in one post.
Not a good picture, but you get the idea.

I made this wall hanging for my MIL. A gazillion stitches but a lot of fun. My machine will take any format but the hoop size is just a tad under 5x7. I am getting good at using the resizing feature though. Christmas decorations, wall hangings, quilts, FSL of different types, t-shirts, purses, jackets I've embroidered on anything I can get onto my hoop and has a spot that looks bare. :wink:

Thanks everyone, that was very helpful. Now, I am starting to think outside the box. Normally, that is something I can do, but I just became dumbfounded with this embrodiery tool. Love all the information shared here, that is what makes this forum so great! Will post some pics when I get productive!
