I'm going to try to be much better at posting. I'm hoping to give ideas and inspiration for machine embroidery.<div><br /></div><div>So I'm always scouting out things that I can add embroidery too. I went to Target the other in day in search of something for the family and ran across picnic blankets. My 7 year old was with me and insisted that we couldn't live without a picnic blanket.

I not sure that I will be able to post daily, but I will certainly post once a week.<br /><br />So let's get started.<br /><br />Personalization is a great thing. I love creating gifts for people that have their loved ones name on it.

My answer, certainly I can. After meeting with my customer we decided on the font style and color of thread. So off to the machine I went.
