my new embroidery machine arrived today! i am soooo excited. so why is it still sitting in the box? i was working on kate's halloween costume (see below post.)
anyway, i am glad i went with the machine i did and the dealer i did. i showed up to the "store" (really just a country-type house in the backwoods of baker) and a really nice lady took about an hour to show me step by step how to work the machine. i brought home a beautiful embroidered butterfly with kate's name underneath, my very first piece. she also had tons of goodies for me when i got there: a cap with my name embroidered on it, a hand towel with my name, and a burp cloth with kate's name, plus pre-wound bobbins and some other little things. i feel really comfortable with the machine and i know if i ever needed help with it, i could call them and someone would direct me. and best of all, they have free classes.
so now that this tropical storm is hitting us tomorrow, i know what i'll be doing. if we don't lose power!
my first official piece of embroidery!! too bad it's not centered. next time!
