Hi,
I know many quilters in the guild also have embroidery machines. I enjoy machine embroidery almost as much as quilting! I heard about this new product "The Magnahoop" and wondered if anyone has purchased this.—, or if you knew anything about it. The online videos sure make it tempting for those "un-hoopable" things we occasionally want to do. Like fabrics that would show hoop marks and small items.

At our recent guild meeting Bob Oliver mentioned how he was going to take a class at Quilt University—the on-line quilting school! For those of you that have not seen the past postings here about Quilt University, or have never visited this popular website before, I encourage you to take a look. Quilt University has a wide variety of interesting classes and well known teachers. You learn at your own pace in your own sewing space! –via the computer!
