Personally I think embroidery machines make homemade things look cheesy and store bought. I'm tired off seeing baby clothes with machine embroidery. It makes items look dated and cheap too. However I love the completely different and unique look of hand embroidery.

Wow, I've heard a few people put down machine embroidery, but I love perfection, and that is the kind of embroidery that machines make. I would love to win this machine...for my sister who really deserves something for fun and to bring out her creativity, to take her mind off her aches and pains.

Every party needs a pooper, I guess (ahem, Forest).

Even if I don't embroider with it on every project, I could use a really awesome SEWING machine.

I'm addicted to machine embroidery! (There -- I've admitted it.) I've been doing it for 10 years now - my machine is getting old & cranky. Sure would be nice to win a young replacement! Thank you, Prudent Baby, for having a giveaway!

That monogrammed little yellow dress is to die for. Thought you ladies should know that I have let a certain magazine subscription expire because all of her crafty projects seem stuffy and dull compared to the inspiration you two post. I get more in a week of your blog than a month's worth of MSL's glossy pages. Thanks!!

I love these type of machine, especially when one can design their own images!!!! This adds a nice, personal touch to anything! It is especially nice for working moms that don't have the time to do hand embroidery. It must be nice for those that do have the time.
