I seriously can not WAIT to play!!!!! I have wanted an embroidery machine for I KNOW the past 2 or 3 years. Lisa can tell you that lol. EVERYTIME she posted one of her gorgeous embroidery projects I was ready to buy a machine lol. We went back and forth FOREVER on the different ones out there and what was within my budget and what not lol. I finally decided on this one lol.

I have even found a yahoo group specific to this machine and there is a TON of information! I've been reading for DAYS lol.

Do you all know of any good embroidery websites!? ESPECIALLY ones that offer free downloads lol. WIth all the software I got AND the fact that I can use ANY image/font to create a design...I shouldn't EVER have to buy one any lol.

Sooooooo ready to play!!!!! LOL

[CarlaF-in Atlanta]

Why, why, why???? I don't neeeeeeeeeed an embroidery machine! No. No. NO! I don't even LOOK at embroidery blogs because I'm weak, weak... I tell you. You know I HAD to check out Lisa's blog. Now, I want to make/embroider napkins and towels. Okay, I'll stop whining :0 Enjoy your new toys!!!

[Robin]

Love that embroidery machine! That other machine really does look like a workhorse! I saw that one at Jo-Ann's the other day and was surprised that they had such an industrial-looking machine there.

[Arlene Murrin]

So exciting. I hope everyone is interested in getting embroidered gifts for Christmas!

[amber]

How fun!!!

[Carolyn]

Great new additions to your sewing family! And I understand your attraction to embroidery...even though I don't do that much of it...I am including it in the upgrade of the new machine.

Now you have to find space for the new thread, stabilizers, hoops, books, etc.!!!

[Carla]

Umm Miss THing

When we discussed machines you did not say anything about that Singer HD (yes I am hating) I am hoping Big Poppa will get me the embroidery machine for Christmas since it is on my list. Now I am gonna put that Singer HD on the list.. You are such a bad influence.. Take pictures of the work you do with the CE

[Lisa @celebrate CREATIVITY]

Oh-la-la! Congrats! You'll be an embroidery queen before you know it.

Keep me posted on all the progress and any questions you have.

Enjoy!

[Angela]

Oh very nice! You're going to have so much fun! I can't wait to see what you make!

[Sheri D. Maple]

Oh new toys, I love them. The only embroidery site I know is sublime stitches. Happy embroidering!

[Tanya]

I'm so excited for you, I too have been lusting after an embroidery machine but I think I will have to wait a little while longer but that will give me time to see what you do with yours, I can't wait so get busy lol.

[NuJoi]

Congrats! I know you'll have fun.

[narcissaqtpie]

[Adrienne]

Ann the Gran has lots of free designs

Have fun.

[Jackie]

Hi, Adrienne... I'm Jackie and I'm a member of the Futura group you joined. I saw your blog listed in your post and just had to check it out. I think you'll love your Futie. I have the 150 and really love mine, though it's been almost a year since I've used it.

I see you have the Singer Heavy Duty machine, too. I have one of those and it's a good strong machine. Doesn't do a lot of fancy stitches, but it sure goes through just about anything without a problem.

Your blog is great! Have fun with your new machines and you new kitty. See you on the list.

[Alethia]

Wonderfulllllllllllllllllll

[Sandy]

Congrats on the new machine. You asked about free embroidery patterns. Another good source is http://www.embroiderydk.com/. You can get free designs, and also pay a $6 month fee for full access to all of the designs on the website.

May you have many days of Happy Embroidering!

[Katie]

You will love your machines.
Thanks for the tie-in to the other blog. She, also, does gorgeous work!
ENJOY!!!

[gold]

OMG you lucky girl you!!!!:)

[NC Peach]

Wow! Santa made an early visit to your house! It really IS great to bring home new craft goodies--all the fun stuff you can make with them! Enjoy your new toys, and I look forward to seeing all the great projects you make with 'em--Get ya sew on, girl! ;)

[Flora]

I guess Christmas came a little early for you, huh? :-) Have fun playing.

[NurseByrd]

Congratulations! I have a brother emb/sewing combo machine, I am looking for an affordable machine to sew while I am embroidering. I order designs from emblibrary.com the stitch quality is great.

[toni]

That sound you hear coming down I-20? That's me hating on you!! LOL! You are going to have too much fun. I would be homeless if I had that embroidery machine, because I would always be calling in sick to work to stay home and play with it.

[Nikki]

You are about to have tons more fun with your new toys. Just promise you'll still peek your head out of the door to let us know you're alive & well. lol

[carlitadee]

WOOT! Good for YOU, girl! Have fun with your new toys.

(Oh, and am I crazy, or did you get a new Singer a couple years ago? Did you trade that one in? Just making sure I've still got my marbles.)

[Fruitfulvine2]

Cool! Congratulations! Enjoy!

[Nik]

Did you leave any machines at the store for other folks to buy? DANG. lol.

[sheila]

Enjoy your new additions... I'm getting off right now... b/c I am afraid if I stay any longer... I will end up with an Embroidery machine...lol

[Delia Wilson]

I have the Singer HD110 the main thing I noticed was the regular presser foot. I had to buy a new one because the little bar in that holds the foot to the machine kept coming out while I was sewing. The machine sews really fast. Congrats on the embroidery machine.

[Dee]

Congrats on your new additions, hehe. I'm drooling over that HD10!

[Don]

Awesome. More toys for you to enjoy. I hardly know anything about sewing but I suspect that you will continue to create wonderful items.

[Elaray]

TWO new babies! And it isn't even Christmas yet. Have fun, fun fun.

[Claire S.]

Congratulations on the new toys. I have the HD110 as well and like it alot. The buttonholes are easy to do and better than those with my Kenmore. When I was contemplating my first invisible zipper, I found a review on PR that said this machine had the best invisible zipper foot. My very first invisible zipper was soooo easy ! Enjoy - I think you'll like it ! :-)

[Susan - Knitters Delight]

Very nice! I know you are going to be rockin' both new babies. lol

[Cheryl]

Wow!!! I know you're excited. I saw the Fedex guy and knew that goodies had arrived for you!

[Andrea]

I remember when we had a conversation about you wanting an embroidery machine. I like your final choice and have put it on my list. I already have a work horse machine. It a Brothers straight stitch machine from my mother. It was her first sewing machine back from like the 60s or early 70s. My dad had purchased it for her. It was the sewing machine I learned to sew on so we're very old friends. I hope you enjoy your new additions.

[Don]

you are a very sweet and warm lady adrienne. i think this needs to be said.

i saw the twitter pic and message - don't cry. you have to keep your head up. that ways, you can always see when things get better.

and why isn't stacy anywhere in these comments?

[renee]

You know, we all gotta have our toys. Life would be really boring if we didn't. Have fun.

[lisa (momy4him)]

congrats on your new babies! have fun like i know you will!

[Ms. Behaving]

Did you know that it's been six whole days since your last post?!?!!? TRANSLATION: I'ma need you to come up for some air now!!! LOL

[Roz]

Congrats on your new machines!

[don]

all in favor of an update - raise your hand.*raises hand high in the air*

uhhhh adrienne. ha. i listed your blog as blog of the week on mines, so i wouldn't be getting on your nerves if i called for an update, would i? ha.

[LaBean]

I'm late to the game but Congrats on your new 'babies'. ;) I thought about that second one, but I was sooo angry at Singer for their zipper foot fiasco I decided I would never again give them any more. I don't know if I'll still feel that way if I were to get my hands on a vintage workhorse machine, but that's yet to happen, so we'll see. :)

[Cennetta]

Look at you! Congratulations! Beautiful new toys.

[angie.a]

Ooh !! Fun. I"ll email you some sites!!

[Cheryl Stephens]

Hi Adrienne,

congrats! I love machine embroidery! If you check out www.brothersews.com you can download free designs, also www.berninausa.com has free ones. Did you get pedesign software with your machine? I ask because I have a pr620 and pedesign8(small embroidery business from home), and it's really good software. I think the other site I'm thinking of is www.embroideryonline.com I know they have awesome designs, not sure if there are free ones though. And of course, the crackhouse of embroidery designs www.dakotacollectibles.com A flash drive + a paypal accout + dakota collectibles is not a good combo for me! :) but it's all good! have fun!

[Janie Graham]

Oh my gosh. You got a embroidery machine?! I want one of those so bad. I have found a few at http://swakembroidery.com -Miss Jealous
