ReplyDeleteI am new to embroidery. I was a bit nervous about doing my first in the hoop project. I fell in love with so many projects on your site. I decided on the monogram keychain holder pattern. I purchased it and within seconds I received my download. Your incredible pictures and easy to follow directions really helped me. After I made my first keychain, I was instantly hooked. Oh my, now I need to shop for more fabric and keychain hardware. I want to make all my family in friends one. Thank you so much for giving me the confidence I needed to create a beautiful project! ♥
ReplyDeleteReen, I have looked at the button machines for a long time. It might be time to buy one. What size die you get? Love your monograms on the buttons.
