Re: Going rate for embroidery lessons

Learning is a challenge. I think that for a single lesson that is high, but for a series of perhaps 4, it is close to the going rate.

Re: PE700 Instructions Area

Sarah - you are not a DORK, you are a newbie! Since you have gotten your machine through the mail, you need to find a local embroidery shop (machine is understood) to find help and a possible group to learn and share with.

Re: Brother se 400 or pe 770?

CraftyRN - you asked a mouthful on this one! You may want to add another question, what is your actual goal? Do you want to supplement your income? Do you want to enjoy a fantastic craft?
