What do you make with your embroidery machine?

I have had an emb machine for almost 15 years. Things have exploded in the design dept during the years. What CAN"T you do with it?? Many designers are starting to create In The Hoop designs..some of my favorites are...

and
http://www.ggdesignsembroidery.com/
and
http://digistitches.com/
Many are also getting on the band wagon to do in the hoop piecing.

I have only had mine for a couple of months. So far I have been making a lot of different blocks, random ones that don't match. I am going to put borders on all of them and make them into a quilt. I am signed up for a class, About Trout, that will put it to use next month!

I'd love to use it more but my time is so limited these days, plus they don't really sell designs for the type of embroidery I'd really like to do. That means either digitizing my own designs or having someone else do it for me, and I don't have the time or money at the moment for either!

I think that once you use an embroidery machine you will get lots of ideas as to what to do. It is easy to embellish your clothing tolook more expensive than it is.
There are several embroidery sites that have wonderful projects to do. Best part too is that there are sooooooooo many free embroidery designs that you can down load.

I love your Avatar quilt, could you please post a picture of the whole quilt? Thanks.
what software do you have? I have used Embird for years. It costs $150 which is a bargain considering the cost of some of the other programs. It edits and converts every format except ART. I've have 3 different machines and its been a god send.

I made my three grandchildren sweatshirts with their favorite Disney characters on them for Christmas a few years ago when they went to Disney. I made a small wallhanging and not much of anything else. It never occured to me to use it for quilt labels. I really never used it to it's full potential so I decide to sell it to a fellow board member. She is quite happy with the machine and I assume uses it regularily. However, it is one of those things "you kick yourself for", because now that I sold it, I could probably use it for labels and other things. Oh Well...as long as someone is using it, her gain and my loss.

so far, I have made 1 quilt and 1 bedrunner. The quilt was for my grandson, his school colors. The runner is for one of my beds.
It's a queen size quilt, but extra long, he is 6'7 tall.
