After finishing this embroidery machine project I I finally experience a glimpse of satisfaction. I hoped to create some keepable tote gift bags for Xmas gifts this year but the way I am going they may be done next Christmas. For me it is a slow process to create something that shoul be whipped up in an afternoon, but I spend more time creating then sewing. I do not like to use patterns and that often gets me into trouble. There are still errors in this bag but I feel that I am getting closer to what I want. Its a necessary learning process I guess.
