Update on the New NV Upgrade

For those of you who have purchased the New Brother Premium Upgrade package for the Innovis 4000D or the New Innovis Duetta 4500D machines --

Or those who are thinking about upgrading their machines --

I AM HAVING A BLAST WITH THIS NEW HOOP!!!!! I have the new upgrade installed on my 4000D and have been playing with it a bit each day. I have discovered the neatest thing about the hoop yet!

How many of you have looked at new curtains this year? I just purchased some new sheers for my bathroom & they had the prettiest embroidered flowers on them. The threads were different colors & the pattern really "popped" off of the cream sheers. I paid about $40 for the pair.

Well... Carolyn & I are working on a new sample area in the store and I headed over to Big Lots for some sheers for the "room" that Carolyn & I are putting in the store. I purchased the sheers & a large drape for $8. I put the sheers in the new hoop - no stabilizer - made sure the material was taunt & off I went with my pattern. These sheers are beautiful!! Even with no stabilizer, the material did not pucker & my sheers have beautiful edgings & borders. I spent about $3.00 for a spool of thread & needles, $8 for the sheers & 2 hours of time.

I just wanted to let everyone know that I could have saved myself almost $30 if this had been available 3 months ago!!!

Come see my new curtains at Grand Opening!
