And , uh, Ducky , please don't shoot your embroidery machine. You just got your other baby home from the hospital! :lol: :lol: :lol:

Ninnie, I didn't shoot it. All I needed to do is give it a stern lecture.

They really do, don't they? I have loved every design I've gotten from them. My next venture is to try their appliques.

I know your pain regarding embroidery machines. I used to design embroidery images and testing them on my machine would be the most frustrating thing, my Brother machine is so pissy!!!

I'm in awe of you for designing images. That seems like it would be fun! Can you show us any of your designs?

Jim'sGem, I think you would really enjoy it. It's just a fun change of pace. Ninnie and Cutebuns do quite a bit also.

Lisanne, I was very skeptical of the quality of machine embroidery until my mother showed me some of hers. I think my biggest challenge has been getting the tension right.

And, thank you 2wheelwoman, suzi and Joeyoz....I'm really hoping I can make the setting around them "right". I have lots of baby fabrics -- both cotton and flannel -- and I was wondering if I couldn't do a little bit of a scrappy block. We'll see.
