Beginners Embroidery Journal #2

I am excited to embroider despite the mini struggle I am having with the manual. Here is the 63 Brother color set ordered from Amazon!  It was a time sensitive purchase.  It came with a large sheet of stabilizer, along with a bonus of seven bobbins-one threaded in black and one threaded in white.

I was just expecting 63 spools and you know I counted them!  But the extra's feel like a lottery win!


My start was pretty cool!  I practiced fastening fabric into the hoop and lining it accurately to placement.

And yet, this is all I have to show you...


In the interim, I contacted the support line at Brother Embroidery, and they informed me that cassettes/cards are really outdated.  Therefore to even access the IBROIDERY.COM freebies I must invest in a software application.

Decisions.

Certainly I do plan to create my own designs and this is probably when I will ease towards making that investment.  I really do not want to jump into the shallow end, aiming for low cost that eventually will not serve my greater purpose.

Until next time...

No Excuses...

My sample of embroidery thread arrived today.  I ordered it seven days ago, expecting it would not arrive until at least after July 4th.  Ha Ha!

No excuses now!  It is time to get serious about learning this embroidery machine, with or without the guide.


The set sells for around $7.  It contains 39 popular colors, including a gold and silver metallic thread.  You can purchase it at aliexpress from My Fashion Frenzy.
