wink wink
and I have you guys to thank.
you guys are the WORST!
I have subscribed to this thread since end of thread 21. ( and I dont post a whole lot but i read them all)
YOU are the WORST enablers. esp Ninimorris. nini at least you always give an enablers disclosure statement followed by this guy
then you go on to detail fabric sales and your sterling advice ( which i consider gospel) then sometime mid summer i think you posted about HSN having a sale on Brother PE 770. you put the bug in my ear, so to speak. so tons of research later and 1 christmas 2010 and I got a brother pe770 for christmas! thanks hubbs. he did not get it from hsn, but a particular website that had it for 699. and he got the kit with the sock hoop and caphoop and ten thousand thread colors and 17000 emb patterns etc.
so every since i found this thread, i thought i sewed before but I didnt. Now i sew like a demon.
since christmas i have embroidered and appliqued a couple of things, may post pics later this week. and now i know what you all mean when you say something " stiches out nicely" my cd with the embroidery patterns gets the point across, but heather sues highly recommended and praised emb files stitch out beautifully. even for me a beginner at emb. ( before this i just did it all by hand and sewing machine) and now I know what you all mean when you drool over satin stiches. they are gorgeous. i watch the machine do it's art and think, wow i am MAKING this.
so thanks to the enablers and advisers, you have a follower.
and i have a question. on the brother pe 770- are there special embroidery machine needles i should be using or can i really use a universal machine needle?directions say any machine needle is fine. my mother says look for embroidery needles.(she has a singer) the "help" at joanns said tsk tsk we only sell viking and blah blah brand so she wasnt willing to give me advise.
to heatherskiba - i felt the same way you did when i found this thread. i thought "there are people just like me!" and I love those yellow chucks.
I don't have a crib to try it on, so it is laying on our pool table.

I just use the regular ol embroidery needles and ballpoint (for knits) needles in my 770.
How do you like your other hoops? Im contemplating a Jumbo hoop for those times when I want to put a name under a design or something...

. Can't wait to see pictures of your creations!
Aside from fixing the binding in a few spots on the back my quilt is done, so I thought I would go ahead and post a picture:
Other than sewing on the binding it wasn't too bad to do, but I won't be starting another one right away either
So you are not the only one that had a bad experience this weekend!I think I am finally caught up! Everyone sure has been busy, there are a lot of beautiful things posted. I think I have only posted here once since we got back from our trip in November. Things have been hectic here. December started out very rough. We had to put our pug to sleep in early Dec. She was 13 and everything started failing at once for her. I really miss her and find myself still looking for her. Yesterday I was on my way out and had a brief thought that I should let the dog out before I goIt will take a while but we're getting there.
DS,DDIL and the babies were home for Christmas. I did sew a little, I made an audrey skirt for Christmas and I managed to make my first Feliz! Thanks to Teresa I had a petti for Emily to wear under it. She loves that petti! She was only here for a week but she would say to me Ganma, I nee a pin (I need to spin) so she would put it on and twirl her little heart out! Sadly, they were only here for the week. I don't know why the
Air Force needed to send them 1600 miles away when I am 20 min from McGuire AFB and about an hour from a few others.
Anyway, here are a few pictures. I am sorry they aren't better but I was so busy playing with the babies that I didn't think about taking pictures that were post worthy

WOW, I just stumbled upon this thread, and I am in awe of eveyone's work. My family and I are going to WDW in March for Mardi Gras, and I have spent the last few weeks/months creating outfits for my son and daughter as well as sweatshirts for the whole family (Mickey with a jester hat). As soon as my husband finishes taking down the Christmas lights, I am going to have him load the pictures I have taken and hopefully figure out how to load them on here.
So excited to have found a group of people that have the same interests (I swear my husband thinks I am the only one!)

Have any of you mad a diaper bag and where did you get the pattern if you did? I was looking on etsy and found a few I sort of liked. Nothing that I loved. I just cannot justify spending $75 on a diaper bag that I am not totally in LOVE with. Most of the diaper bags I found were tote bag type and I want one that is on the bulkier side? Like a traditional diaper bag style. A little shorter but wider. Any help, guidance, advice will be greatly appreciated.
Thank you for your time

I made crib bumper pads to go with the yankees baby quilt, now I still need to make the crib skirt. This is not my favorite type of project, but I said yes to my DIL to make a baby gift for her sister. They had seen a set on line for $300 and wanted to know if I could make something. I will be able to make the set for around $80 in materials, which my DIL is paying for and I said my labor would be my gift to her sister. So I need to get the crib skirt done next just to get it off my plate and move on to more fun things. And to top it off the design is not something I would ever pick for a baby, so that makes it even less fun to work on!
Anyway here are the bumper pads, I made it as all one piece, so I REALLY hope it fits right

Thanks! Who needs perfect pictures? This is much more interesting!! We have a picture of Arminda, I think it might be from the same trip, and it CRACKS ME UP every single time I see it! I should post it.LOL This reminds me of our family picture we had taken while the girls were little... we paid good money for that too!I think it's adorable though - really captures the true essence of Disney.
D~
Thank you.
Did you ask about a repositionable hoop once upon a time? Get any answers? I've been wondering the same thing, and since page 1 says feel free to repost unanswered questions. . . . .
May I have you attention.
Wendy and I would like to know if anyone has a repositionable hoop, and if so, do you like it?
Color meif someone answered and I missed it.

I know how you feel too! When I found this thread, I felt like I had found a "home" on the internet, somewhere I really belonged! 
anyway!

We are really hoping to go in May too. I hope you get to go on a celebration trip!
Thank you.
Thanks!! I'm still looking for some of my other pictures, but I think you can get the idea I was talking about.
Yes, I have one. But, it goes to the Rose machine my cousin is lending me, and the card reader is very out of date and doesn't work with my computer. So, I've never used it. Someday though, I would like a machine with a hoop bigger than a 4x4. (the Rose is only a 4x4).
This is so pretty Wendy!!! I LOVE that design!!! I think I need to make myself a shirt with that on it. I'm not sure I have it yet, I may have to get hold of Heather about that!
I keep looking at a Brother 770, but then I remember that I have too many other things that need paid for and close the webpage! Someday.....
Brian use to live in the UP when he was in college and he tells me he rode his bike all year! Boys are nuts.
Somebody didn't read the first post
actually I did.....but it is in my nature to appologize (I get in trouble for it all that time) and when I wrote that post ...I thought about the first post the whole time......LOL
Sorry to hear about the car and the dog but I think you are making the best decision for your family by not getting the dog. It would be worse if you adopted her and then you had to give her up. I hope that you get some answers about Hannah and it seems that the therapy should help her along. I can only imagine how frustrating this is for you.
Great shirt.Hi Everyone!

Congrats on the new machine. As for the needles, for embroidery on cottons I use an embroidery needle. I got a bunch of them when I ordered my thread from marathon. I think I've seen them in JoAnn's, with the bulk of the other needles in the notions department (not in the sewing machine department - which in my store is owned and operated by an outside vendor). Try asking the ladies at the cutting counter if you can't find them. I found this link that might give you an idea of what to look for: http://www.amazon.com/Schmetz-Embroidery-Machine-Needles-Size/dp/B001145BXUyou guys are the WORST!

this came out really nice. Not my favorite choice for a baby either but to each their own. I hope the baby isn't born a Met's fanI made crib bumper pads to go with the yankees baby quilt, now I still need to make the crib skirt.

Nice fabric choices on the Tink skirt. I absolutely LOVE your Vidas, so creative and nicely made.Love the shirt, Wendy! I wanted to share the skirt that I made to match the shirt..
And there are also for the same big give...
So sorry they are so huge!
So sorry that I am doing such a horrible job keeping up with this thread!
Jenny (decided that 2011 calls for a new username..so TickleMeTink it is!)
Awesome Tink Wendy. Is that one of Heather's?
Doing a great job Ellen. I can't wait for my DB and DSIL to get preggers so that I can do this for them. I already have the Winnie the Pooh Fabric and everything.
How about this one?
