I have a Bernina 830 and took one lesson a year ago on embroidery, but forgot everything she taught me. I am going over next week to take another lesson, hopefully. This time, when I get home, I will start embroidering so I will learn and remember how to do it. The dealer made it look so easy, but I know that it won't be that easy for me.

Well, my Brother PE 770 got here on Thursday and I got it unpacked, plugged it in and played with the touch screen, but I haven't ordered any thread yet. Has anyone heard of "Ameth" embroidery thread? It's supposed to be good thread and is fairly inexpensive, but I don't know anyone who uses it. It only comes on the very large cones (5000m). The Brother dealer at the Dallas quilt show recommended Robison-Anton. I'm looking on the internet for thread because I don't have a dealer in my area. Do any of you buy thread on Ebay?

The price is right with Metro, but both times I have checked them, they are out of stock!

I have a Viking and hardly ever embroider. I've taken classes and can do the basics but there's so much to learn and remember. I need to start using it more. The one project I'm going to begin is a baby quilt with embroidered blocks that have ABC's/pictures. I'm not sure what stabilizer to use. The quilt will be machine washed and I worry about the embroidery looking all wrinkled and wonky. Any suggestions? Thanks!

I am LOVING this thread. Is there a possibility of getting a sub-forum for our embroidery work. I have read all replys, but when a new one is posted I have to go to the last page to read the latest post. I am very interested in incorporating quilting and embroidery. I have a Janome 9700, a 10,001 and just purchased the 12000 that I have not started using. I LOVE The Quilting Board, most everyone is so caring and helpful. Thanks to you all. I may not post much, but I have learned so much from others and the way you people care is just wonderful. I feel as if I know most of you personally. Thanks so much Jan for the help with the Nine Patch on Point. It is almost finished and came out great thanks to you and your help.
