Machine embroidery is now so heavily utilized for product branding, corporate advertising, uniform adornment and also for personal sewing and craft projects by hobbyists that the word "embroidery" is now generally more readily associated with forms of Machine Embroidery than any of the more traditional forms of "Hand Embroidery".

There are two main types of Machine Embroidery:

The first "Free Motion Sewing Machine Embroidery", involves using a basic zigzag sewing machine.

The second "Computerized Machine Embroidery" involves using an embroidery machine or sewing/embroidery machine.

A. Go to your community center, church or senior center, or a rest home and ask around. You will probably find someone who would love to make your embroidery for you, especially if you have time for them. You will find that they will enrich your life and you can enrich theirs.

A. I have a Brother 2500D and it works great. I must say that I use it mainly for embroidery but it sews so well too. I wish I could do both at the same time! I highly suggest that you get a 5 x 7 field. The 10 x 6 is also nice but not as essential as 5.x7. I would say 90% of what I do is 5 x 7 or less. The other thing I might consider if I had to do it again would be buying an embroidery only machine because I feel that so much of the extra sewing options are never used because I am always embroidering.

If you do machine embroidery could you suggest what brand is the best to accept other discs?

A. I prefer Brother or Babylock and I would suggest buying from a dealer if you have never used a sewing machine - the embroidery machine has some similarities. If you do not buy from a sewing machine dealer, try the Singer - it should connect via cable to your PC and this is where you will store designs and then send to the embroidery machine. You choose designs by the format of the embroidery machine and the the hoop size. Watch this when downloading. An embroidery machine that has a maximum embroidery area of 4 x 4 will not stitch a design that is larger. The least expensive method to obtain designs is downloading from the Internet to the computer, then send to the embroidery machine as you want to stitch out a design. Methods for… [cont.]
