NEWS! NEWS! NEWS! I just got a call about my machine. For some reason, someone who wasn't paying attention, put my machine and all of the pieces in their storage unit; the unit they use for trade-ins. There it sat for over 3 weeks. They are working
What would YOU do? Almost exactly three weeks ago, my young embroidery machine bound up beyond my ability to repair, and that was the end of my stitching with that. I had been making a few items for a local fund raiser bazaar. I immediately took my ma
I'm trying to help with a fund raiser project (senior center and town soup kitchen) and would like to make some winter time decorated TP rolls something like the picture. Has anyone seen a snowman face that is 4x4 that would be similar to this? Thank yo
I have an old design labeled cuties3553753. Hopefully I can get the picture to attach. I was wondering who the author of this design is, and if perchance, there is a matching dog design. I want to do a thank you gift to our vet, who went above and beyo
I need a little help with brainstorming. I belong to a quilting club at the local senior center. Most of the ladies there are retired and not all that technologically savvy. At our meeting today, I found that several of the ladies have embroidery machi
Friday is my dear friend's birthday. She has battled so many cancers and keeps on going. Yellow is her "happy" color, so I stitched out some daffodils that won't wither. The flowers design is from MistyMountainEmbroidery, and the butterflies are fr
I have a question for everyone. This does not pertain specifically to this site, but I'm going to ask anyway. Here we can give "flowers" as a thank you for gifts, etc. That is not the case with all sites. So do I say thank you and bring an old post b
Would you like to know how to repair your own sewing machine? If I understand this (new??) site correctly, they offer free online tutorials/courses for machine repair. Probably not the inner workings of an embroidery module or computerized unit, but h
WARNING!! This may have been posted before, but I want to reinforce it. When you rinse out the water soluble stabilizer (WSS) from your projects, be sure to use a bowl or container other than your sink. Then pour the water outside rather than down the
About 30 years ago, I bought a "grab bag" of sewing notions from a store that was going out of business. There was one thing in there that puzzled me, and so I just tossed it in my sewing basket. Well, it is still sitting there and I haven't the fogg
I just looked at Amazing Embroidery Designs and noticed that I skipped from O to S. Was the P, Q and R made available yet or am I just running on empty? My daughter hit an elk Friday night with my car and totaled it. We were out all night taking care of
I just had to share with someone. Tonight my daughter experienced a miracle of life...her own. We live in the mountains in a very rural area. She was on the highway and a deer jumped out in front of her. She hit it at 50 mph (80 kmh). The deer had to be
I was searching for something today and ran across an ad on one of my more favorite sites, and this piqued my interest. Has anyone tried the Creative Feet, and if so, do you recommend the set or not? The second link is the owner of the Creative Feet
This morning I was watching sewing on PBS. The show was "Its Sew Easy". Cookie Gaynor was their host. She showed how she liked an element in a fabric design, so she used this little scanner device to scan the design, and then it was ready to be a mach
