Note on Gadget covers

I have had a few enquiries about the covers and would like to address them here.

*The fabrics in the slide show are no longer available, as the store I usually get my fabrics from is still closed due to the flood in February.

*Yes, you can send your own fabrics if you have a fabric you wish for me to make the covers from. Otherwise I will source out the fabrics for you. If you choose to send your own fabrics you can and the price will be adjusted accordingly. Please be aware that I live in Australia and you will be paying for the shipping of the fabrics to me. :{

*When making an order I will need you to do the following:
***Choose two colours schemes (one for each side)
***Choose pattern type (abstract, floral, stripes, spots .....)
***Choose your wording

New embroidery machine for me :)

Well after a hard think about it, OK one days think. I decided to invest in a new embroidery machine. Had to work a bit on Hubby to convince him that I really needed it. It should be here on Thurday.
It is a Janome MB-4, 4 needle embroidery machine, so no more changing the thread after every colour, and faster embroidery time, which means I can do more covers, yay.
It is very similar to the industrial Tajima machines we use at the embroidery shop I work for.

It has lots features, you know all the bells and whistles. The big seller was the $4000 worth of bonus goodies that came with it. A design software suite, and image design disc, chock full of designs and lots more.
I will be able to plug my laptop into it and transfer designs straight from the laptop. Although the machine weighs 20+ kilos, I will be able to take it to craft fairs and do while you wait embroidery.
