Is Machine embroidery contagious?

My mother came to visit for Thanksgiving and after we did a few projects with my machine (a brother HE240, simple 4x4 hoop machine), she went to Walmart and bought pretty much the same machine. :-)

What fun. I have caught the 'bug' for machine embroidery. Now you will never be at a loss of what to get each other as presents. I loved sewing with my mother when I was a teenager, sadly she never caught the machine embroidery bug. Her small Elna is now owned by her younger grand daughter. Happy sewing

Oh yes, it most definitely is VERY contagious indeed. PS my surname is Weistra and my mother-in-law was Hiemstra :)

It's a real short trip from buying a machine to embroidering everything you can get your hands on.
I haven't embroidered my husbands underwear yet, but I feel that coming on....

It is for sure! I love my machine but wish I had larger than a 4x4 and could get my behind motivated to do some FSL ornaments!

the first day I got my machine I embroidered hubby's jocks and the kitchen dish cloths. That was 12 months ago and I now have 3 machines and love every minute of it. xx
