Thank you for all of the help with my question. My husband bought the embird and is going to learn to digitize. He said if I like embroidering I can get another machine in a few months.

743283Well you are one lucky woman. We on Cute look forward to hearing how the digitising goes. Good Luck to your husband with his digitising and maybe we will see some of his results?
115750I am sure you will be extremely happy with Embird. I hope my links helped.
Now the very best thing I could do for you and DH is to give you the link to Flying Needles Embird Tutorials.
You join for a yearly fee, and every month you receive a complete tutorial, videos, text and graphics, on a different aspect of digitising.
This has got to be the absolute best value on the net for learning Embird. The video instruction makes it so easy to learn. (though I haven't had time to do any of them yet I have saved all of them for when I do have time)
You pay the same amount for the year, regardless of when you join, but you go back and download ALL the tutorials provided for the whole year,
eg, Join now (November) but download all eleven (11) tutorials provided since January 2009.
She has several different clubs you can join, and if they weren't any good, I certainly would not recommend them to you. You also have access to the Flying needles yahoo group to ask questions and get help from Kathy and/or other members.
Check out her website and email her if you are unsure which club you should join. She also has several free tutorials you can download to give you an idea of what you will be getting.
Hugs n roses, it's onward and upward from here, Meganne

I do hope you are right about the addiction. I do so many things on a whim and I tend to get bored easily. My husband is a great supporter of whatever I try. He did chuckle when I told him I was going to make a family blanket, so I at least have to accomplish this much!
