Thanks for the information, I have since bought some stabilizer. I was kinda worried that the paper towels would produce a lot of lint. Thank you for making sure I knew what I was getting into! :)

Check with your LQS who sells embroidery machines-they will lead you in the right direction. The reason I say all this is from experience. Lets put it this way inferior products produce inferior results. I'm telling you this so you won't be disappointed down the road when you get more experienced. In the mean time enjoy your new machine.

I can sympathize litacats, I'm so glad I didn't have to wait until tomorrow! Hope you get to use your machine soon. I bought a used Brother 270D. I think I got a good deal, lots of thread was included. Thanks for the compliments!

:P :P :P

It's a she!

Hope you enjoy your new machine. I too just got a new embroidery machine, a Brother 4500D. I'm having so much fun with it. Right now I'm making "Cinderella" bags for my granddaughters 5th birthday party. I'm glad to hear you purchased proper stabilizer. You will have hours of fun with your new machine!

Me, too. I am pretty sure I want to buy one. But, I can't figure out how much I would use it so don't know how much I can justify spending.

My husband said I'm turning into a twelve year old with a bedazzler. I've only done two designs, I swear! Thinking about embroidery everything though!

Very cute. Aren't new toys great.

You are going to love embroidering. That elephant is so cute. I make my quilt labels using the small font. To make life easier I embroidered an upper and lower case letter in each font and size to help me decide what to use.

Have fun.

I agree about the stabilizer - use a good one - voice of experience!
