Machine Embroidery – Excellent quality and supply

Ah, decisions, decisions! My favorite embroidery design gallery is having an excellent sale right now and I can’t decide which of the wonderful machine embroidery designs I want to add to my collection! There’s cut work and free-standing lace, red work and holiday designs. I know I can’t stitch them all; there just aren’t enough hours in the day!

One of my favorite designers has new embroidery patterns for creating doilies and other table linens using free-standing lace and 3D butterflies and another that is reminiscent of my grandmother’s hand-stitched handkerchiefs. Both embroidery sets are lovely, but which to choose?

Another designer offered a free embroidery design which corresponds to their new Christmas collection. I’ve just about decided on this set because the stockings made completely in the hoop are fantastic! While they stitch, I can be working on other projects, whether embroidery or quilting!

The site is also offering a special on their machine embroidery thread. Since I do need to stock up, I need to decide on how much thread I can get and still have enough in the budget for new embroidery designs. It’s at times like these that I truly long to be wealthy! But, no matter what, I always seem to find a way to restock my embroidery supplies when needed. Magic maybe?

I love when the designers offer free embroidery designs. It helps me to make sure I like their style. So, in order to make my choices, I guess I should get down to some serious test stitching of these free embroidery downloads. Whichever ones I like best should help me decide which embroidery sets to purchase.

Of course, that’s the idea. It doesn’t mean I won’t splurge and get all the sets that I like! I already have so many machine embroidery designs, but my design library should have room for more! I like having as many options as possible when an idea strikes or I need a quick gift. Having a well-stocked library, as well as a good embroidery supplies stash, ensures that I can stitch any idea at any time. This helps me be artistic and creative when the mood strikes.

I could always do eenie-meenie-minee-moe to decide, or I could ask my husband’s opinion. Wait! What am I saying? He has no idea what I have, and I don’t want him to! I think there may even be an embroidery law that states that I cannot share that type of information with my husband! I’ll have to double check!

Well, whatever I finally decide on, I know I’ll be perfectly happy with it! Because I want more practice with cutwork embroidery and fabric appliqué, I’ll probably go with the doilies and table linens by my favorite designer. The butterflies, a favorite of mine, really make the project. Then, because I like giving them as gifts, I think I’ll splurge on the in-the-hoop stockings embroidery pattern. It will add variety to my gift giving.

See, with a bit of rambling thought, I was able to figure out which machine embroidery designs I want. However, I still need to browse the site to make my purchases. Wish me luck on not making my decision even harder than it was!
