I don't remember exactly how long I've had my beloved Brother machine, but it's about 12 years old. I looked it up, and I've put over 12.5 million stitches on it. I'm kind of proud of my workhouse machine. Wish I had a cool name for it.

For those of you who do ith zipper bags (I love them!), I have found a Youtube video that shows a way to secure the zipper ends that I've never seen before. I can't share the site, but if you'll pm me... I haven't actually tried the method, but I'm

Many days ago, I asked for suggestions for using embroidery on cork fabric. Wow, this fabric feels so good! And it embroiders beautifully! I ended up making angel ornaments and some lip balm holders and still have a lot left to play with. Thanks!

I am lacking in ideas, and hope some of you will have a suggestion for me. I bought some beautiful cork fabric, and now I have no clue what to use it for. I don't want to make snap trays or tree ornaments, so does that limit me to bags and wallets? I

I have a Brother Innovis 4000D single needle machine, and I love it. I have toyed around with the idea of the snap hoops/magna hoop, but I really can't find out enough information to see if I would really use them. Does anyone know anything about them

Many months ago, I had come across a blog with many embroidery designs on it, and it was in French. There were always interesting photos on it, which I enjoyed even though I didn't understand a word of the language. l Does anyone remember the name o

I used to buy stabilizer from my machine dealer. But circumstances have changed, and now I need to buy it online. I'm not happy about the reviews on some things on Amazon, so where is the best place to buy good stabilizer online? Thanks

If I made a flyer with some things I wanted to embroider on and sell, and included a picture, do I need to give credit for where the design came from? Or a notice at the bottom that all designs are used by permission? Thanks in advance.
