JeanP	Posted - Sep 20 2020 : 3:25:54 PM So far, I've "met" Quiltee (Linda) and Katmom (Grace) who do machine embroidery. Any others out there? Any interest in starting a machine embroidery challenge or swap or sharing tips, or whatever strikes our fancy? Could be fun and informative. I have lots of ideas to get us started . . . . first project could be a "get acquainted" project and limited to a 4x4 in design, so all could participate no matter what their machine limitations. Or, if you haven't made a Stitch Book yet for your particular machine, we could start with that. You learn soooooooo much about your machine by making one. Think about it and let me know what you think. jean

isewbernina	Posted - Dec 02 2020 : 2:59:49 PM I am sorry that I haven't posted pictures of the sweet gifties I received from Jean, I want to thank you for being so kind. I went to visit my doctor and brought home the regular flu, I won't make that mistake again ;( 1 don't think I will use the mug rug for that purpose, I plan to hang it on my tree. I will enjoy the Dakota Embroidery Designs for sure! Thanks again Jean, Kathy May your neighbors respect you, Trouble neglect you, The angels protect you, And heaven accept you. Author UnKnown

windypines	Posted - Nov 15 2020 : 05:05:55 AM Jean the patterns do have to be digitalized. I found that out. He does have a program, but I am lost after that. lol I am not a computer person. Beautiful projects ladies Farming in WI Michele FGOTM June2019
katmom	Posted - Nov 14 2020 : 9:56:41 PM Hey Kathy and Jean.. sorry, up to my eye balls in 'stuff' and been MIA on the MJF forum...... not a ITH project.. I realized I did not have water soluble stabilizer to make some lacy ornaments,, so I did this instead... Yes, the lavender is from this years garden... oh and fyi,,, I made a few more of these ornaments, for my grand kiddos. only I left the top (between the red and green felt) opened, unstitched,, so a candy cane or $$ or both could be tucked in. >^..^< Happiness is being a katmom and Glamping Diva! www.katmom4.blogspot.com & http://graciesvictorianrose.blogspot.com
isewbernina	Posted - Nov 14 2020 : 5:43:20 PM I also wondered if she grew the Lavendar that was in the stocking, but I forgot to ask. Kathy Family is GOD's Greatest Masterpiece
JeanP	Posted - Nov 14 2020 : 5:11:24 PM I received the same delightful treats from KatMom. Such beautiful work she does . . . . all that talent WOWZER!! jean "However difficult life may seem, there is always something you can do and succeed at." . . . .Stephen Hawking
isewbernina	Posted - Nov 14 2020 : 4:55:26 PM This is my gift from KatMom. I can hardly wait to put up my Christmas tree and hang up this ornament. Did you do this ITH Grace? Inquiring minds would like to know. Merry Christmas, Kathy Family is GOD's Greatest Masterpiece
JeanP	Posted - Nov 13 2020 : 4:41:38 PM Oh my, Michele -- Sounds most interesting but I have never heard of a Happy Embroidery Machine. Don't know anything at all about commercial machines. Re figuring out his own patterns -- don't they have to be digitized? jean "However difficult life may seem, there is always something you can do and succeed at." . . . .Stephen Hawking
windypines	Posted - Nov 13 2020 : 3:54:01 PM Hi Ladies, has anyone ever played with a Happy Embroidery Machine? My husband got this big un, to do hats and shirts and stuff for his work. And it was a good price to boot. He is trying to figure out his own patterns and its a bit of a challenge. Just wondering if anyone had any thoughts? thanks Farming in WI Michele FGOTM June2019
isewbernina	Posted - Nov 13 2020 : 09:01:19 AM I received a lovely Christmas Ornament from KatMom aka Grace yesterday and it is sew cute. Thank you, Grace, I will hang it on my tree when I get it out and decorate it. I just wish I knew how to post photos to this forum. Is there a place I can go to for instructs? I have such wonderful gifts from all of you and I feel like a dunce not being able to post pictures. Kathy Family is GOD's Greatest Masterpiece
katmom	Posted - Oct 29 2020 : 7:36:12 PM Ditto,, I agree,, skip Turkey fest and head straight for Christmas..

isewbernina	Posted - Oct 29 2020 : 6:15:02 PM I agree. Kathy Family is GOD's Greatest Masterpiece
JeanP	Posted - Oct 29 2020 : 2:05:33 PM Oh yes, Kathy. I have the perfect "ith" thing . . . you ladies will love it. I never did find any thing that really floated my boat for Thanksgiving. How about we skip right to Christmas?? jean "However difficult life may seem, there is always something you can do and succeed at." . . . .Stephen Hawking
isewbernina	Posted - Oct 29 2020 : 1:02:41 PM I am working on a machine stitched quilt for my grand-daughter. It is taking 20 minutes a block not counting hooping time and I have just finished 24 blocks, BORING to say the least, lol It is an Australian pattern and those ladies don't do anything halfway. But it is going to be pretty. I am looking forward to Morgan opening her gift. Kathy Family is GOD's Greatest Masterpiece
isewbernina	Posted - Oct 29 2020 : 12:55:50 PM Do you ladies think that we have time to stitch something for Christmas? Nothing big, but a little ornament or something like that? Maybe we could try our hand at ITH it is easier than you think, Grace. Family is GOD's Greatest Masterpiece
JeanP	Posted - Oct 29 2020 : 10:45:45 AM Grace, I just Googled Singer Fabric and lots of fun stuff turned up. Check it out. . . . "However difficult life may seem, there is always something you can do and succeed at." . . . .Stephen Hawking
katmom	Posted - Oct 29 2020 : 10:36:21 AM Well I went to their website.. and searched through pages and pages of their fabri,, but couldn't find the 'Singer' motif one.. bummer.. Jean if you do go,, tell us about the shop.. I would luv to go,, but going to have to wait till next summer.. Phooey.. >^..^< Happiness is being a katmom and Glamping Diva! www.katmom4.blogspot.com & http://graciesvictorianrose.blogspot.com
katmom	Posted - Oct 29 2020 : 10:34:17 AM Jean,, my friend in Troy,, calls 'Lewiston' ... 'Cabo San Lewiston'... cause it has such nicer weather in the winter time... >^..^< Happiness is being a katmom and Glamping Diva! www.katmom4.blogspot.com & http://graciesvictorianrose.blogspot.com
JeanP	Posted - Oct 28 2020 : 11:31:45 AM Well, DUH!! I should have figured that one out cause I've come to realize that Katmom is an Acronymphomaniac ROTFLMAO. Oh Kathy, so sorry about your DH. No fun being a care giver. Our hearts are with you. Re the Featherweight Store. I have to get my hubby to take me to it. He is my care giver as I can no longer drive. We need to make one more trip down to Lewiston to do a Costco run before winter gets really serious, and we could make a slight detour on the way home to stop there. I'll have to check it out now and see if I need to make an appointment first. "However difficult life may seem, there is always something you can do and succeed at." . . . .Stephen Hawking
