LOL I did this one year as a gift for "over the hill" It was a blast ( I only embroidered enough designs so it could be seen, not all the way thru the roll)

Quilting Krazy you have an awesome job!!!!

I see that Nancy's Notions has a book titled "Stabilizers—The Foundation Guidebook" on sale for $7.99. This might be something worth investing in.

I have a Pfaff Creative 4.0 which I've had for about 6 months. I am loving it and my dealer is awesome with the classes/lessons each month.

I have a Janome 9700 w/4X4 & 5X7 hoops. I use it mostly for Items for DGK's. Been putting designs on T-Shirts & bags. I like making playfood for g-daughter. Have not made a quilt with embroidery yet but plan on making one soon. A chat about embroidery would be wonderful.

Here are a few things I've done with my embroidery machines.

The first project I did when I got my Baby Lock Sofia 2 was a cat quilt for my aunt. I used the QAYG Fun and Done squares. Not really happy with the way it came out, but she loved it.

As I got more comfortable, I started incorporating embroidery into doll quilts. The next set of photos is from one using batiks and dragonfly motifs.

Most recently, using my Brother PE-770, I made a quilted Bowling Grannie tote for a secret pal swap.

One more ... I don't remember where I found the design, but here is a FSL Hanky Angel. I've made them as condolence gifts for friends, both "real time" and virtual ones here on the QB. I liked the design because I can change the hair color and skin tone to match the person. I got some hanky linen at Joann and serged the edges, sometimes adding an initial or little flower. The one pictured below is for a friend from the Philippines who lost her mother. I tucked it into a bouquet of orchids.

Thank you
Happy Sewing

Krystyna, that is beautiful work. I own a Babylock Ellure Plus with the 5x7 field and extended hoop. I had researched the Brother PE 770 the embroidery only machine and wanted to ask how do you like it? I love Babylock and own 2 of their machines and serger. I wish I had more time to do my embroidery but once I get off of work I'm very tired. Love the bowling bag!

I love the PE-770. It's so easy to use and I haven't had a single problem with it. I purchased it on eBay after seeing that the shop selling it wasn't far away. It was a terrific buy and came with lots of thread and extra hoops.
