Re: Hooping A Store Bought Tote Bag

Hello Barbara! Thanks for your input on my bobbin statement. I had noted in my needles blog that machines which sew and embroider 'would' have two bobbin cases. It is explained more in the blog but your machine which does dual duty, only had one. Thanks for that information! I have corrected...

The only bobbin issue is the fact that, although they look alike, the bobbin for a sewing machine and a bobbin for...
