Very good job on the embroidery, I tend to walk away from my machine when it is doing it's thing, if you get to many thread breaks it is usually your needle or thread and you should change them. Though it depends on how long the stitching time there is between colors to how much else I get done, with my big machine it can go for hours without me touching it, It gets kind of boring watching the needle go up and down, but I have spent a fair amount of time doing exactly that. And company like to watch the machine like it is going to do flips or something. I have been embroidering for 15 years and it is a lot of fun, the placement etc will come, and there are tricks etc to help you out. there are several people here that do machine embroidery. One of my biggest problems these days is picking colors.
And for those that are nervous about their machines, there really isn't a lot you can do to the machine once it is set up properly, though the fabric etc can get messed up. I still make mistakes on some of the jobs, like things get folded underneith or spelled incorrectly, I have learned to have people print out their names to help with their spelling. Just relax and jump in with both feet. If you want, bring your machine here an dI will help you with it lol
