<\/a>My new Brother Dream Machine.\u00c2\u00a0 The hoop is filled with one of many built in Zundt designs.<\/p><\/div>\n
<\/p>\n
The Dream Machine by Brother has me filled with awe.\u00c2\u00a0 The engineers who think up and design all these feature sare like Disney’s Imaginators.\u00c2\u00a0 They bring to life fantasies most have not yet imagined.\u00c2\u00a0 Just look at this video<\/a>!<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n I can hardly stand my excitement for this machine and have spent considerable time playing with it this past week.\u00c2\u00a0 The project in the hoop above will be a companion pillow to this one,\u00c2\u00a0 made in such a fit of enthusiasm that I forgot to taper the corners.\u00c2\u00a0 The Zundt design is 7.4 x 13.6″ and stitches beautifully.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n And it is overstuffed.\u00c2\u00a0 The next one will be better.<\/p>\n Every time I get a new sewing machine, I am\u00c2\u00a0 thrilled with its capabilities.\u00c2\u00a0 Each one seems to have reached the pinnacle of performance.\u00c2\u00a0 And yet, the next one out shines the previous model.<\/p>\n So often I am reminded of a statement made in a 1910 Singer publication that detailed the history of the sewing machine.\u00c2\u00a0 Sadly, I’ve lost the booklet, but the essence of the comment was that their newest machine was now perfected and nothing more could ever be wished for or added to future machines.\u00c2\u00a0 Humph!<\/p>\n I love this quote:<\/p>\n Think big<\/strong>,\u00c2\u00a0 <\/em>dream big<\/strong>, <\/em>believe big<\/strong>, <\/em>and the results <\/em> Sonia Showalter’s framed embroidery says it all. The “D” is from her spectacular new Citadel alphabet which offers a free letter until the next is released. So hop over\u00c2\u00a0 to check it out. The lower case letters are from her Fairy Tale Alphabet.\u00c2\u00a0 I’ve just purchased the lowercase alphabet so I can make one just like this for my granddaughter’s upcoming birthday.<\/p><\/div>\n <\/p>\n It’s getting crowded in my sewing room.\u00c2\u00a0 Each machine is like an old friend which makes selling it too hard.\u00c2\u00a0 As a matter of fact, I’ve just recently posted for sale my first top-of-the-line machine, a 1984 Bernina 930.\u00c2\u00a0 But 3 of my other “new” machines are stitching most of the time, busily embroidering or sewing.<\/p>\n Two older embroidery combo machines have been moved into my “loaner program.”\u00c2\u00a0 They are fostered by responsible, interested friends who agree to use and maintain the machine for a period of 6 months.\u00c2\u00a0\u00c2\u00a0\u00c2\u00a0 At the end of that time, most have invested their own embroidery machines.\u00c2\u00a0 It gives me a lot of satisfaction to introduce my friends to the joy of machine embroidery and sewing.<\/p>\n What do you do with your old machines?\u00c2\u00a0 I’d really like to know.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" I’ve been dreaming big\u00c2\u00a0 for some time and now my dream has come true!
