Default Went from 0 to 4 machines in 2 weeks - thanks to hubby

HI All

Like I said in a previous post after seeing a feather weight at sewing store hubby was enthralled with them, so 2 weeks later I am now the proud owner of 4 featherweights, and 1 toy featherweight.

So, I spent time embroidering a cover for one and took 2 days trying to figure out how to make the cover - had one of those brain freezes - don't you just hate those ????????

Any way, even though hubby was Very Generous in buying me the machines, he's not one to compliment me on my cover - so I am posting it here - I need encouragment to make the others.

Thank you for taking the time to look.
Karen

You will have to resize your photo in a photo program....there are size limits posted in the "How to Post Pictures" in the Main category.

Wow.....great hubby and really nice cover!!! I bought a FW cover on eBay that had a FW embroidered on the front and it's nice but yours is w--a--y nicer. I think I would buy an embroidery machine just to be able to make some of the embroideries of the vintage machines.

ETA: I sure would love to see a larger pic of the cover. If you are using an iMac I can help you with how to resize your pics for the forum.
