I had the most amazing experience. I was near our local hospital and the Thunderbirds flew over in formation in honor of the care givers! Now I know how they got their name. I know that they fly every day to practice normally, but to do a fly over a hospi

I have a Magic Box problem. I turned on my computer the other day and it would not recognize the box any more. This computer is used only for the Magic Box and I don't go online with it or use it for anything else. I have no clue why it stopped recognizi

Does anyone do Mountmellick embroidery? I'd like to use that style, but am having trouble getting the right cotton yard for it. I'm very intrigued by this style of embroidery.

I need advice on how to hem tshirts. I keep getting wavy results. I use my serger to finish the raw edge, but when I turn it under is when I have stitching problems. I'm clueless about how to fix this problem!

I just read on a website that if the design isn't dense enough to use a thicker thread. I've never heard of this before, and I'm unaware of any embroidery thread that is "thick." Has anyone done this?

As they say, it never rains but it pours. First my computer got hacked, then my husband ended up in the hospital. Not quite sure about exactly what happened except the bad guys put a "ransom" program on my computer. Of course, I did not pay the r
