amount of time and $25 later I was up and running and I have posted 2 of my projects! One is a framed embroidery for my son's wedding on 10/10/10 and the other will be done on a vintage hankie for the bride to carry during the wedding. Let me know what you think of the colors on for the hankie because I haven't set myself solid on the colors yet but want to get the hankie done while my machine is working to perfection!
