Hi @crosheille. I've been away for a long time due to a medical event, but I am trying to find time for my various crafts and my embroidery machine. I look forward to seeing some of your excellent crochet

Thank you. It's a lot of fun once you get the hang of it.😊

You're welcome.

It is a Brother PE 800. This machine has more than doubled in price since I bought it because people use it for small businesses to make a living from home.

Those are beautiful. I have never knitted anything with a double thickness. I'll have to research that process.

You're welcome, I'm glad that you like it.

I can still use it, but it would need additional work in order for me to give it as a gift. I would actually use a better fabric for my sister's mug rug. I have some polished cotton that I would like to

The round gray circles are magnets that came with a magnetic hoop that I bought separately from the machine. It simplifies the process of hooping with the standard hoop that comes with the machine, especially

Thanks! I did not take a picture of the back of the mug rug, but I was supposed to sandwich the felt between two pieces of fabric. Oops. I forgot to put the first piece of fabric down before the felt.

It is a good soup for the flu.

You are right about recovery being a process. I have learned to appreciate each small victory as my body mends. I am glad that you are feeling healthy. There is a brighter day ahead for me as well.

Thank you for your kind words. I hope to regain full dexterity eventually. The healing process is just slower than I would like for it to be, but I am grateful for my progress. Thanks for the hug. 😊

Thank you. The towel was on sale, so it didn't cost a lot of money.

I agree @crosheille. I am definitely out of practice.

Thank you. I hope that my friend likes it too,

Embroidery thread comes on 1000 m spools or 500 m spools. I have plenty of thread to use for my designs so far. I have been using my machine quite a bit since I bought it. It is a lot of fun.

I showed my newest apron to my male friend, and he wants to mail me several aprons to embroider for him.

I've never heard of that custom. Thanks for sharing the link. That is amazing. The people literally throw clay.😊

Thank you for letting me know. I still appreciate the consideration.

Thank you. I need to use some of the "blanks" that I purchased while continuing to develop my skills.
