Congrats Annie,

You're going to enjoy your embroidery machine and so will your hubby. Don't forget FaceBook, their are big embroidery groups there as well. PE Embroidery is one it's mostly Brother machines but the techniques of embroidery, stabilizers, hooping, etc. apply regardless of machine. YouTube has great tutorials as well. There are embroidery designer fan groups on Facebook where the designers release their new designs and the fans can buy them at a 40-50% discount for 24-48 hour period before they are put on the Etsy or website for sale.

Lots of fun with your Ruby.

Huggers, Ruby
