Meetings are once a month,the ladies made me very welcome,it was my first day,i was so excited. . My machine was working well the day befor,you guessed after driving the hour and a half,setting myself up for a great day making new friends,my machine had a hissy fit and had to go in for repairs. Now my machine is back , would love to have the name tag done,i felt a bit silly on my first day. thanks for any help Heather

you got some good ideas so I will give flowers

Mary already told you what I was going to tell you to do. Lots of sites have applique shapes pick one and go crazy.lol have fun

Thankyou cuties for you help,im off to play ,big hugs and flowers.

You could do a simple one with felt. Embroider your name. Add designs if you want. Most machines have frame borders that you can use too. You could buy the plastic name tags that are made to slip a paper in. They already have pins attached in back and are easy to find at office supply stores. (Buy the plastic name tag first so you know what size to make it.)

This looks great,flowers for spring,i love it,yahoo

Oh Heather, don't feel silly, these things happen - besides it gave you the chance to see what they can do before you show them what you can do. Where abouts in the car did you stand your machine? If in the boot, it might have been too hard a ride, or it might have been sliding about and got bumped. I always sit mine on the back seat - with the seatbelt and some padding around it to make sure it doesn't move. Also, make sure that it isn't in the sunshine, they don't seem to like that.

You could make your name tag as plain or as fancy as you like. For me, a fancy border with my name in a decorative, but readable, font would be good. Hope all this helps sweetie, love and hugs.

Thanks Ruthie it was a great day, have told everyone to join cute. Lots of talented ladies there,spent the day having lots of cupas. I have a sewing machine bag with wheels,i strap it into the seatbelt on the backseat. It was a tension problem,threading up under the bobbin in a birds nest. My dealer got onto it and only had the machine for a week. Have had good replys on name tags will try them all out.

If I had to make a name badge I would use one of the FSL templates here on Cuties. Then just embroider your name on top of it! You can pin with a safety pin or glue a real pin on. Glad your machine is home, many blessings of fun days ahead at your club.

that was my thinking too.

That is what I was going to suggest too. :) You beat me to it cinderoak.:) She could make two - one without name. Glue small round magnets where her name is so they won't show. Then she wouldn't need pins.

Oh that's smart! I like it!

Thanks so much i will also try this,i could have a new one each time i go.

Do you digitize? If not, does your machine have any fonts for monograming?
