I was one of those who took awhile to get going on embroidery. Now I love it, love it, love it. I didn't set out to buy one, but I found a great deal on a used Bernina and it had the optional embroidery module included. First, I only made quilt labels, then towels and t-shirts. Now, the project I am planning is to embroider some Laurel Burch designs on solid black, and use them in a quilt made with my carefully hoarded Laurel Burch fabrics. I found the older OOP design collection on eBay and was excited to have them coordinate with the fabrics I had collected. I also took a class on quilting with my embroidery module, hooping the quilt sandwich without stablilzer. I did a table runner with 2 hoopings per block (my hoop is 6" x 10"), and was quite happy with it.
