I have always considered myself a crafty gal, so anytime I can learn a new craft and add it to my abilities, I get very excited!

I have been Cricut crafting for a few years now varying from clothing, signs, keychains, and cups! Summer of 2023, I decided to buy an embroidery machine to give that a whirl. However, it sat in its box on the floor for MONTHS before I even opened it. Now is my chance!

My baseline is very vague when it comes to machine embroidery. I used to do some hand stitching when I was younger, but this is a whole different ball game. I joined some specific Facebook groups and have been a fly on the wall trying to learn as others post questions. With this project though, it’s my turn to thread the needle and get to work!

My plan going forward will be the following:

• set up my machine completely
• purchase all other necessary supplies needed for some simple projects
• download the appropriate software
• attempt an easy project!
• trial and error
• attempt a more complicated project!
