4) I had the fabric pulled too tight in the hoop
Does this sound about right? :)

Have lots of fun.

Have lots of fun.

Thanks, Katesnanna. Where do I find Kenny's Corner?[/quote]
Sorry , Its under Projects on the left hand side. Click Projects, when those come up click on any one of them then go to Techniques & Guides on the left hand side. You will see Stabilizer guide. Click on that and you're there.
Also something else I remembered being told. Turn down the speed of your machine when doing lettering. This advice from a quilting buddy who owns 2 embroidery machines and has been doing it for about 7 years. What I haven't learned on the web I've learned from her.
Good luck and good fun

You are going to have soooooo much fun!

I'm thinking I'm on the wrong site. I don't see projects on the left side. Could you give me the link?
Thanks[/quote]
aam5019 has given you the link at the top of this page.
Go down past the design names to Exclusively EL. It's 4th from the bottom. Good luck
