Hi Judy -

I've only been embroidering since Christmas so I'm a newbie, too! What kind
of machine do you have? I have a Bernina 180E and I use Embird for editing
the designs and Magic Box.

I started out practicing on pieces of fabric, too. I've done an apron
(denim type and inexpensive at Walmart!), and quilt labels, and framed
embroidery. I have yet to adventure onto a garment.... And I don't spend
so much time converting colors now. Now I choose the colors I like out of
my stash, or go buy new colors, and line them up together to be sure the
colors all go together well. Part of the fun of embroidery, for me, is
taking someone's design and using the colors I like to go with whatever
project I'm working on. You find you waste some time and materials because
maybe there's not enough contrast or whatever, but you learn more about your
machine, your stabilizers, hooping, etc. I'm planning on doing a
tablerunner, burp clothes and golf shirts. You're in a great group and if
you need more ideas for beginning projects, just ask! Kim

Subject: 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.

Hi Kim,

I have a Brother Pacesetter ULT2003D. I would have started with the Bernina
180E if it hadn't been for all the Disney stuff. Grandchildren can take you
on amazing journeys. When we bought the machine we did buy the box of
Disney colors so I could do something. I love flowers and I seem to have an
amazing collection of them, that is when I feel I need to convert colors.
After Christmas we bought each of those little people in our life a fleece
throw, each one picked out their Disney design and we put it in the corner
of the throw. Today I am going to read about placing patterns.
