For a good view of machine quilting, check out the pictures of this quilt from yesterday's digest:
http://www.quiltingboard.com/picture...d-t194209.html
and then view both sides of the quilt. Outstanding!! The back of the quilt is as beautiful as the front. I don't think she says she used the quilting design in a hoop, but her stitching is so precise and identical, I think this to be true. Correct me, if you find otherwise.
Regardless, check out this wonderful quilt. The maker says she is a beginner. Oh, I should be so talented!!!

Hi,
I have been doing machine embroidery since 2004. I started out with Brother ult 2003 and upgrade this year to the Ellisimo Gold. I just love this machine. I made an 50 anniversary wallhanging and embroidered 5 different hearts in the squares. I would like to be part of your group when you start this next month.
Thanks,
Sunnydays from Wisconsin

I have used Goo Gone on my machines including my Babylock Ellure Plus. It works beautifully I do wipe off any residue of the GG after it has removed the glue. As previous said spray it onto a cloth and go from there.
Another great product is "goo gone" I have the spray gel bottle and
this stuff is amazing and has an orange scent to it.
DO NOT spray directly on anything spray onto a paper towel or napkin
and gently rub the wipe residue with a warm soapy cloth followed by a
warm water cloth rinse repeat as needed.
I KNOW this works as I have used it MANY times on my machine to get
tape residue off. But I never had to remove spray adhesive though.

Well ladies, I'm going to pass along one of my secrets - I have used this item for years, on anything sticky! It's great, smells good, and works grrrr-eat. Now ya'all are going to be surprised I'm sure, but it works, and I've never, ever had it to ruin anything. Are you ready for this? It's ELECTRIC PRE SHAVE. Yep, the stuff men use before they shave with an electric shaver. You can purchase the cheapest brand too. The smell is pleasant, it disappears rather quickly, too.
I have used it on my machines, embroidery hoops, sticky tags, labels - you name it, if it's stuck or sticky, it works. If it's a stubborn sticky, just squirt some on the item and let it set a bit. I have yet to have it fail. Hope ya'all will give it a try..

Software question.....I'm looking at purchasing Janome Digitizer JR. Does anyone have experience with it...it costs about 499 and to upgrade later to digitizer pro mb it would be another 999. Any recommendations greatly appreciated. I chose digitizer jr cause it looks simple enough. I have embrid, but hate hate it....
