Welcome Sweetlummi.. I too am a newbie.. :-) . I just recently purchased a long arm sewing machine and have been wanting to learn different techniques .. enjoying the sewing world to the Max. I was a veterinary Technician.. but I am 48 and my back is not what it used to be.. so its time to find a new Passion. I am curious how you added a photo.. I will have to go back and check to see if I can add one.. .. also.. can I add you as a friend? hope to learn alot from this forum and meet new people.. as well..
