My mom LOVES her embroidery machine too. And I’m amazed at all of the cool things it can do. She learns something new all of the time.

Happy T13!

Blessings,
Karla

Chris- I have several bags for sale now. They are currently listed in my sidebar in the “auction”, but I am selling to whoever makes the first bid. It’s the only plug in I currently have, so that’s what I’m using. The set “minimum bid” is the price. If you want to see more pictures just let me know.

Also, I have quite a few other bags for sale that I haven’t listed yet, so if you see something you like but would like a different color, let me know, I may have it!

Natalie - I had to buy software for my computer. I then download my design onto a “d-card” and that card gets inserted into my sewing machine. The machine I would love to have can hook up directly to your computer and it also accepts a USB memory stick. Oh well, some day when I’ve won the lottery I can get my dream machine!

I’m so jealous! I would love to be able to do embroidery…although I can’t seem to operate a regular sewing machine, so maybe I’d better work on that first!
