Hi Corell,
We live in Southern CA, Redlands. You live up where it is cool. The first
month I had the machine I collected Freebies like they would never be there
again. Then I got brave and started buying patterns. We bought the Brother
machine with all the Disney and Pooh characters, because of the grandkids.
My ultimate dream is to some day own a Bernina Artista, or what ever they
are making at that time. I first got into making K-lace (?), I figured any
dummy could do that. In the process of making those I did learn a lot about
my machine, but you don't learn how to place that on a garment. I have dug
out a sweat shirt that I will try and put my favorite bouquet of daisies on.
I think this is right, I hoop up to layers of wash away stuff, the pattern
is very dense, then I put a layer of wash away stuff on the top and let her
rip. I have learned that with the Brother sewing machine that the metal
bobbins hold three times as much thread and doesn't bounce around like the
plastic ones.

Hi Judy,
I feel like I'm in the same boat as you! (I live in Calaveras Co., CA,
where do you live?) New to this machine embroidery but I'm getting the hang
of it. I also made blocks and blocks. Then I started really digging around
on the web and found so many other things out there to do with embroidery
designs. I've gotten addicted to collecting designs. Would you believe
that I have 7 ZIP card full? I don't think I will live long enough to use
them all!! I've gotten so many ideas from different lists. They are
wonderful, even if they do go a "little crazy" sometimes. One of my
favorites is the Wee Village quilt list. They are a block of the month with
darling little fairy or gnome houses. I'm going to do them and work my
machine embroidery collection of fairies into them. Another fun thing is a
block swap. I just finished a fairy block swap. I don't participate much
in the lists, just lurk, read, and learn. Maybe when I get better at this I
may get brave and participate. LOL I have done a few quilts, little ones.
And some great sweatshirts if I do say so myself! ggg I'm not very creative
myself but with so many wonderful ideas out there I find that I'm gradually
finding my own niche and enlarging on them and making them my own. So don't
go away!

Subject: [HookedOnEmbroidery] Question.......
I am totally new to machine embroidery. My husband down loads my
patterns
for me and I plug them into my machine. All I have done is embroidery
patterns on a piece of fabric, never a garment or anything else. I
think
maybe I am in the wrong group, I need a Beginning Group. I feel like I
spend all my time converting thread colors over to Isacorde colors. I
love
what I have done, but now I feel I am ready to move on. Any suggestions
would be very much appreciated.
