What a site!! Isn't it great that we can all come to this Personal Section and checkup on cyber friends - their joys and sorrows - and follow up how they are getting along.

And it all started from Machine Embroidery!!
It took me a long, long time to scrape up the courage to open my embroidery unit and try my first machine embroidery stitches and then this wonderful new world just blossomed - here I found the way to try things I'd never have done alone and friends to help me when I stumbled along the way.
I wonder how many 'new' friends here have waited for the right moment to step into the unknown and then find an equally grand time creating beautiful things with their ME.

Alma, it took me a year after I had my Singer futura to try the embroidery. I was just too intimidated and didn't think I could do it. Now I have a janome that just does embroidery and a brother for quilting and sewing..I could kick myself for putting it off because it's easier than I ever dreamed. You are not alone in waiting!!!

Well, thank you to everyone for your messages.
I'm hoping that new friends and members will hop in without fear and ask those questions for which they are seeking answers - answers which will enhance their ME adventure. There is no question so small or insignificant that doesn't need or hasn't any answer. We all love to share our knowledge and help when we can ..... that's a strong and common bond here - and the depth of knowledge is infinite.

I agree. My Cute family helped to keep me sane during my husband's last 6 month deployment 4 years ago. I was never alone while he was gone thanks to Cute.

The friends I found here on Cute are the greatest! I learned so much about embroidery from Cuties. I bought my machine second hand with no hope for any local help. Cuties around the world have taught and are still teaching me so very much.
Thank you for posting and I am so glad you are a Cutie too.

Very well said.
All that I know I learned from the Cute community since I bought my first machine from QVC and one can not expect any help from them. It is wonderful to know that when you post a question that someone is likely to give you the answer. Another benefit is the friends I made here. Wouldn't want to be without them.

Thank you so much for sharing your thoughts with us, Alma! I think we've all felt like you have at one time or another, and to find a wonderful place like this to get the help you need with your "thread nest" or stabilizer problem, or be inspired by something in Projects. I'm so glad you decided to jump in and share your feelings especially at this time, you just made my day with your expression of joy and hope. Big hugs to you, for seeing the positive in the Community, and contributing to it. Marji
