So pleased with my new embroidery machine :-)
Encountered only small problems (with bobbin tension) and found solution by rewinding it, so that the tension became stronger. Made an apron for my great niece. One of my daughters was my model
Meanwhile I love to make my own simple patterns for aprons and can use up all the fabric I have stored
Lettering is the new DARCY font by hang to dry and the other embroidery is by Julia's needles

Thank you so much - and I think one of my next creations will be with one of the beautiful basketkase designs I have in the waiting queue. It's fun to use the new machine. So far it works without any trouble (fingers crossed). Hugs Maria

Thank you so much and hope the niece will like it. It is so difficult to find a gift for young people sometimes but I thought an apron may be useful and unique - Hugs Maria

WOW! That's a big font! You must be having a lot of fun with your new machine and I'm sure that your beautiful daughter thinks the same. I don't recall what machine you bought, but you must have a huge hoop.

It is the Janome Memory Craft500e with biggest hoop 200x280 mm and the font has various lettering and sizes and is really great (look above where I answered to Babash for details). Thank you so much - Maria
Thanks for the info!

Dear Chris, thank you so much. Yes, I hope my Great Niece will love it. You know her grandmother is my elder sister and she is always doing the most perfect things in sewing and knitting also for my children. So I hope I can return the favour a little bit to her grandchildren. Hugs Maria

Dear Toogie, approx. 3 weeks ago my Brother went to repair (still is there) and I took the chance to buy a second an only embroidery machine Janome Memory craft 500e. It has a big hoop of 200x280 mm and that is fun. Also I am happy with the USB storage or direct connection with the computer. It took me 15 years to make my wish for a second modern emb machine come true and I really am happy. If you look under embroidery you will find a row of cuties encouraging me to buy the Janome. Price was affordable in Germany. But you also have smaller sizes included for this lettering. Hugs Maria
I should have said, it looks too large for my machine. I am limited to a 5x7 size unless I get a split design or add ons.
I am so happy for you and love that it has such pretty lettering for you, too. I just looked it up and very nice, I might add.
Isn't it so good you can get honest reviews from fellow Cuties? So glad you're happy with it. I have Brother machines & a Janome serger and love it. Good luck with your new machine.-Toogie

That is a stunning Apron. Love the font. I went and looked at the site and it looks like you get multiple sizes when you buy it. Am I correct?
1 comment
Thank you. That is true - I mean the multiple sizes and a big variation of letters. I was lucky to buy it at introduction price. If you go to Facebook on the Hang to Dry site there one lady was friendly enough to provide all different letter images so that you can file them on your computer and look how you want to use the letters. Hugs - Maria

The apron is lovely and so is your daughter. I am glad you enjoy this new machine. The larger hoop size is such a joy to have.
