Embroidery library? A website or on the forum?
http://www.emblibrary.com/EL/default.aspx It's a wonderful website for embroidery designs. On the right is a link to the "Stitcher's Showcase."

There are lots of things you can do with an embroidery machine. I have made quilts with embroidered blocks:

It's nice to make embroidered kitchen towels as gifts for people and you can embroider t-shirts and sweatshirts.

I love to make pictures: Here's a couple:

Judy, those are beautiful! I just bought an embroidery machine mainly because of the beautiful work you and Belles did in the Row Robin. Right now I just want to make nice quilt labels! :lol:

Right now I'm using mine to embroider a lot of snowflakes for the quilt I'm working on. I also did a big sunflower on one daughter's dress (her request) and butterflies on the other daughter's pajamas (also by request).

I'd love to use it more but my time is so limited these days, plus they don't really sell designs for the type of embroidery I'd really like to do. That means either digitizing my own designs or having someone else do it for me, and I don't have the time or money at the moment for either!

I make my own quilt labels, tea towels with Maxine are a favorite, have embroidered aprons for a non-profit fund-raiser, embellished a jacket, made name tags, made blocks for a quilt. I have a Janome 350E and love it.

I have one but rarely use it. I've done tote bags, pot holders, free standing lace. It comes in handy, but to be honest I havent touched it in a month or more.

I got one so that I can make my labels for my quilts. But some people have heard that I got a machine and asked me to some things for them.

Mish, it looks like you've learned a lot since you got that machine. Your stuff is adorable.

Bernie, you'll enjoy your machines. Labels are fun.
