I’ve been making bags too, my daughter is turning 9 soon, so this weekend she’ll have a sleepover party, so I decided to make these bags as party favor bags and embroider the girls names on them, the pink bag, it’s hard to tell the name, but it’s there Smile

The tutorial for the bags are here

Now little sister got big sister to play her hide and seek game in the cabinet behind my sewing area. – My “studio” is a bonus room with a wet bar where I have the embroidery machine and Go cutter on top.

    it is amazing how those dust bunnies find their way into our machines ….. one would think it was too loud in there to set up house. lolThe girls will love the bags I am sure, and with their names they will love them a little more.have a great dayin stitches

  5. I'm forced to clean mine out frequently because my machine will just stop sewing on me if I don't.

  6. I did just recently clean mine and it was time. I could never find the right screwdriver to loosen the screws and finally had my daughter's boyfriend work on it. He managed to get them loose for me so I could take off the throat plate and give it a good cleaning. I wasn't having any sewing problems and it doesn't sew any different but I still was glad I was finally able to clean it.

  7. Wow girlfriend that is a LOT of lint. Now I know to bug you more often to clean it. I can tell by the sound when I'm behind on cleaning Lucy but I've been a lot better lately with doing it more often.
