Well much sooner than I expected, the hubby has given me the go on my very first embroidery machine!!!!! I've been wanting to learn embroidery for years now. I feel so blessed and can't wait to get started!
So.....I figure I'd ask advice from my fellow trusted YT seamstresses! Do you have a embroidery machine? What kind? Do you like it? What advice can you give? Tips, tricks?
What all do I need to sort of start out with?
I'm 99% sure I'm going to go for the Brother PE 770 machine. It's as nice as I can afford at this time and I have been told by local ladies to buy the best you can afford to start. I was first looking at one with only a 4x4" hoop but after much thought I knew I would be limited to what I could do. So I put off the idea of buying one to save some more. This new one I have picked out has a 5x7 hoop. I am 30 minutes away from a dealer. I'm going to purchase there so I can have that added help and service options if need be. Here is where I will purchase mine:

I was looking at thus basic starter kit they offer but I wasn't sure.

Also I know I want to learn to do fun appliqués from shops online like planet applique. So I think I will get one of these too:

Sorry to ask so many questions. I'm excited and wanting to learn all I can. I'm going in to the sewing center this week to talk to someone in there too.
