I got my embroidery machine in April 2010 and i love it !! The designs are addictive and I have over 100 designs now. 

There is many sites i buy embroidery fonts/designs from,but wanted to share one of my favorites with my blog readers..

Apex Embroidery Designs

some of the fonts from their site that is on my wishlist !

They have nice freebies too...

I have this one in my collection

Diaper Bag

I bought this pattern recently and due to how busy I stay time wasn't permitting to make up one for my store.  Someone volunteered to be my paying gineau pig :) Yeah !!

This is the pattern picture

The customer wants it made with two fabrics like this bag

She chose these fabrics for her bag.. The swirl fabric and the black will go outside with a hot pink inside. She chose a hot pink fringe to go around the top and embroiderying Khloe on the front in pink. 

 

I will start sewing the bag together tonite and hopefully within a week it will be ready to ship.

Embroidery Machine

I raised enough money to buy the software and card writer for my embroidery machine.

Found mine on Joanns.com for $129.99 which is higher than ebay, but I had a 50% off coupon so I was able to get it for half price. 

It was ordered Saturday so hopefully next week it will be here !!

I'm really busy with blanket orders, so not sure when I will have time to learn to use it..  My best friend volunteed to try to teach me to use it, but still need some thread, stablizer so I can play with it. 

Embroidery Machine

I finally saved enough money to buy my own embroidery machine.  I can't begin to start to learn to use it until I get the money to buy the software and card writer for it.  Plus I need thread, stablizer and more bobbins.  But the pretty machine is sitting on my desk waiting for the day it can be used. 

I have been paying my best friend to do my embroidery work and as soon as I get all the materials and learn to use it, I won't have to pay her anymore ..  Very grateful for her help, but eager to do embroidery work on my own.
