I did think of a embroidery only machine but space is at a premium so had to look at a combo. The 15000 is out in Scotland but it would've been another £1500 at least and since I got a thousand of normal sale price I really couldn't complain. Today I've been experimenting with the embroidery bit. Managed to send a design to the machine however it doesn't look anywhere as nice as the one I did in the shop yesterday. Amn't sure where I went wrong. Perhaps I had it on too large a hoop? All I know there is an awful lot of white thread visible from the bobbin while there is none whatsoever from yesterday?! But, I'm still chuffed I managed to get the software working. I think the proper design software should arrive by next Monday if not before.
