I thought you might like to share a laugh at my expense. (I'm having a "duh" day today.) <br /><br /> I'm testing some new mug-rug designs and everything was going smoothly until I realised I hadn't left a gap for turning through. All was not lost

Have any of you across the Pond bought the new Brother Scan and Cut machine. Scottie and I saw a demo on TV yesterday and we are soooo tempted. (It is available here in UK next month.)

The secret birthday year is just ending (when we began, it just happened to be the end of January) and I'm wondering how to manage the next year. I am concerned that of the many people who joined up at the beginning of 2013, quite a number disappeare

Last night, I did a foolish thing. I offered a design in the projects section if people PMed me their email address. I have, so far, sent it 50 times! (I may not risk it again.) What has interested me though, is to analyse those requests. Most were ma

New Year resolutions anyone? A couple of suggestions - 1. I will make an extra effort to play an active part in all areas of the Cute Community to make it an even better place to be. 2. I will stitch out some of the designs I have downloaded and po

Does anyone know where my embroidery foot is? I took it off the machine to put the sewing foot on and haven't seen it since. I've looked everywhere, including emptying my rubbish bag out on the floor. Where was yours when you last lost it? Luckily I

Gasp!! I went into my local sewing machine shop today to buy some bobbins and found they had had a bit of a makeover. They now sell embroidery machines and the New Janome 15000 had pride of place. The gasp is because I now know how much it is! £6495 b
