Thanks for the pictures. They are wonderful! A couple of weeks ago my wonderful husband bought me the Bernina 440QE with the embroidery attachement. I haven't had the time, working full time, to even open the boxes nor have I had a chance to take the classes that are offered by shop that I bought my machine from. I think I am using my time management as an excuse but I am a little intimidated by it. I really am so excited on learning how to use it. I am a simple quilter (nothing to complex)so I think I am going to fall in love with this option. With 6 granchildren ranging from 1 to 19 I am ready to play with my new toy.
Please keep the pictures coming. It's inspireing.

I have a Babylock Ellageo. It uses floppy disks. When we got a new computer I had to have a floppy drive put in so I could download from the internet. My machine is about six years old and has been used very little due to health reasons. I am hoping to get going with it one of these days. My daughter has a Babylock commercial embroidery machine and she uses it day and night. It is a real dream machine. Mine came with wonderful instructions and I always think if I have a book I can learn anything so I am not intimidated by it and have used it a couple of times with wonderful results.The Ellageo uses PES files and I have a Magic Box that can convert other types of files to PES so I can use them too.

Our embroidery group "Magic Machines" is starting the Summer Wine quilt by Jenny Haskins this month. I have already embroidered the first block.

I too have a Brother Innovis 4000D and love it. I use it for my quilting and embroidery. A great machine. I bought an inexpensive memory stick to download from the computer to my usb port on my machine. I did buy the upgrade to it, I think it makes it a 4500 D or something like that. Now I have not used that yet, but i like the larger hoops, and the contiuous embroidery for pillow cases, sheets, table cloths I think. I am glad this thread is started, I love this quilting forum, but I do embroidery too.
