Time for the monthly update!
Since I posted last, I've been playing with my new serger, but the biggest news is that last Sunday I bought a brand new embroidery machine! It's a Brother PE-770. It has over 100 designs in the machine and has a USB port for a memory stick so I can transport designs from my computer to the machine.
I've also been acquiring free patterns from the web. You would not believe the amount of free machine embroidery patterns there are out there!
Also have gotten a digitizer program (also free with purchase of 5 patterns). I have successfully digitized a logo for one of the organizations my hubby belongs to. Hopefully they'll want to embroider it on shirts and caps, but my machine isn't equipped for caps yet (it requires a special attachment).

I've been looking for a new sewing machine to do some machine embroidery on and I've looked at the one that you say here that you're using. Now that you've had it a couple years I'm wonderin ghow you like it.
ReplyDeleteNo major issues except for some thread breakage that frustrated me until I found out it was shades of red in a certain brand that the machine didn't like. I switched to Robison-Anton and had no problems.
ReplyDeleteBe advised that the PE-770 is an embroidery-only machine. You cannot sew a seam with it (unless you're doing an in-the-hoop project).
