Embroidery lessons

Machine embroidery is pretty slick.  The machine I purchased, and am paying for over 48 months, is a Baby Lock Elegante 2.  It has many built in stitched, designs and mild editing capability, which I am learning to use.  This flower was lesson #1 using the embroidery unit after several weeks of learning the capabilities of the machine without the embroidery attachment.  Pretty durn cool.

I came home from my lesson and began to experiment, using all kinda of thread, combining built in patterns.  I made this giant, narcissistic "S".  Really, too cool.  I learned multiple lessons about using the machine.
