Here I am in a nut shell. I was born in PA, grew up in MD. I'm married to Mike, 27 years, and have two adult daughters. We moved to FL Jan of 2006. I've owned an emb. machine for about 10 years, but didn'' really get into it until just recently. Decided my Kenmore 4x4 wasn't enough, so went and got a job and bought my Brother 700. Now, just wished I had the time to learn my software :)
