Several years ago, my mother, Aunt Rheeta (Mother’s sister) and I treated ourselves to a sewing retreat. We loaded up several machines and sewing supplies and headed to our cabin in the mountains of North Carolina. That’s when both my mother and Aunt Rheeta first tried machine embroidery.
Though she had never even sat at a sewing machine, let alone one with machine embroidery capability, she took to it like a duck to water. I might add that she was 70 at the time. And now, she not only embroiders but sews and does her own alterations!
With all due respect to my very attractive, fit and un-elderly aunt, the truth is that you CAN teach an old dog new tricks!
Since then she has gotten a fabulous Brother ULT2002D and has never looked back. An earlier post shows the communion cloth she made for her church. On a subsequent visit, she made this cover for her Bible. ABC Machine Embroidery Designs offers both a free standing lace collection, Christian Bible Lace and very detailed, excellent project directions. You can view the ABC embroidery designs here.
