I had fun playing with this machine!!! As this is NOT my machine, I had to read the manual first so that I don't accidentaly 'hurt' it!! I thought, just for practice, I'll do a simple design with not too many thread colors. The outcome is the design on the right. I found this wording in a quilt magazine and thought I can try make something out of it later. I used two colored thread for it. Took an hour to embroider it. This machine is meant for embroidery only. The other machine that I am also looking into is the Janome Memory Craft 1100!! It can quilt, sew and embroider!!! LOL
