Are there any bits and pieces that you have bought for your embroidery machine that you have never used or quickly discarded. I bought a black plastic sheet from Brother which stops the embroidery frame scratching the machine base as it moves. I never got as far as sticking on the machine as it appeared to get in the way when I tried it out. Goodbye about $25. The laser pointer light that came as a additional extra with my machine also appears to me to have no use.

OMG....yes and trust me they are too numerous to name....I got rid of most of the stuff when we made our major move........Goodwill got so many goodies!! Bigger thing was the magnifier set that was to install on my Bernina 830 (when I had it) The lucky gal I sold the machine to got that barely used!!!!!! Also had some kind of quilting thingy like a feed of some sort. Now for my Melco Bravo there is one item I have only used once or twice and it was so very pricy.....an attachment that helps stitch on ribbon and small stuff like that...........

I have purchased 2 magnetic hoops, both are good purchases. They have used to quilt in the hoop and to embroider on towels. Also, a 4x4 hoop that was not included whey the machine was purchased. I have bought a foot that has not been used, maybe someday. All the fabric that has been purchased, hoping it will all be used at some point. My bucket list to use all of my fabric or at least some of each piece.

OH my- I have a whole box of things I have not ever used. Several different styles of stilettos, mats which stick to your table so as not to move while cutting on them, a specialty bobbin case and the list goes on. I really should try to sell some of these items, if only for a small amount. Hugs. Nan

Thanks for replying Nan and good luck finding new homes for all of your unused purchases

Do I take it that Karen and myself are the only ones who have made mistakes when buying scruff for our machines?

I have several to add to your list. I have several feet that I bought and have never used. Many of the things I have never used but came with the machine are for quilting. And I have never gotten the hang of how to use some of the hoops that came with my machine. The largest I have managed was 10x12 or is it 8x12. It's been a while since I used it. I hope bunches of us admit to the interesting accessories we keep stored away.
