Monogramming for Dummies

Our boy announcement has gotten his Grandmother inspired to sew, embroider, and of course, monogram for this little one. Which means first we have to learn to use our machine!

Randi has had an embroidery machine since the days of Buttercups, but we've never really learned how to use it. We can monogram the styles that are already in the machine, but we never figured out how to import the extra software we bought. Until now, that is!

Early in the week, we took a private sewing class in Mobile to learn how to make the machine sew all the things we want to embroider, monogram, and applique. It was fabulous! We learned that our machine is actually awesome and can do everything we want. We had just never been shown how to convert the files. We're thrilled! Of course, we had to stop and check out all the fabric stores for ideas of what projects to start first!

We left the machine to be serviced, and we get to pick it up tomorrow. Let the monogramming begin!
