@Maria Hirose I love the little hedgehog!!
Good News!
I have uploaded a new embroidery demo video on the classroom which showed how to do three different outline stitches. I will be adding more videos as I get them edited and uploaded.

Industrial Sewing Machine Advice Needed
Hey creative friends, I'm looking to purchase an industrial sewing machine. What are your recommendations? New or used? Do you have a favorite brand? What do I need to know?

@Claire Amelia that's great advice. I ended up purchasing a new Vevo machine. It gets good reviews, so I am hoping for a good experience with it. It's still in the box, but I can't wait to try it out!
Any YouTube Recommendations?
I want to get better at hand embroidery. Does anyone know of any YouTube channels that show hand embroidery?

I will be offering videos for embroidery here in the classroom. I'm sorry it's taking me longer than I expected.
Excited to learn hand embroidery
I was excited to see that my leveling up opened the Hand Embroidery class videos. THANK YOU!!! I have been wanting to learn the basics for ONE reason. I am making English Paper Pieced hexagons for a quilt and I saw a picture of the pattern I want to use and it has hand embroidered vines and flowers. It’s definitely a “long haul” project but I am loving the slow and steady zen of it.

That's beautiful! One of my favorite uses for embroidery is crazy quilting, which is adding embroidery to quilt blocks!
