Has anyone ever had a file that breaks needles ? I am working on some quilt blocks and I downloaded 9 files.. The first 6 sewed out perfectly but about a quarter of the way though the 7th one it started to break the needle. After breaking about a half doz

I have wanted to try these for so long but the price always stopped me. Well, last week Stitch Deelight had this set on sale. The camera doesn't do it justice, the colors are much prettier than they appear here. Not sure why there is so much variation, m
Here is what I have been doing this week. The designs are from Tattered Stitches but they are a combination of files. They will be birthday gifts.
I could no longer resist the desire to make a clothesline bowl so here is my first attempt. I used a design from Embroidery Library for the bottom. I turned the bowl on the side for the picture so the inside would show.
This is the first year that I have had enough fsl ornaments to decorate my entire tree with lace ornaments. I have made these over the last couple of years and the files are from Stitch Delight, Embroidery Library, and Ace Points, and maybe a few random o
I made some new decorations for my tree. These are made in two parts and slide together so they will be easy to store. They will easily fit inside a card if you want to mail them. Design is from Ace Points and comes in a set of six.
Today I stitched out this cute little Halloween kitty on a towel to give to my friend who is going to feed my cat while I go to visit my granddaughter. She has a cat she calls Dark Boy so this will be perfect for her.
