Embroidery Machine Upgrade

 I decided to upgrade to another embroidery machine with a larger hoop size.  I bought a Janome Memory Craft 500E embroidery only machine.  I've been getting to know it the last couple days and I really like this machine!  The largest hoop size is 8"x 11".  I have a couple projects to work on after the Christmas rush is over and both have larger embroidery designs in them.  Here is one of the designs, a double hooping creates this design:

I also worked on two quilt labels for a customer and I am very impressed with the quality of the stitching.  I made a good decision getting this machine.

I finished the top!  Here's the photo... it still needs to be longarmed.  I am getting back into the swing of things after taking a 4 week break from my longarming business.  I do this every year after the Christmas rush is over and I spend the time piecing and sewing for myself.  I'm impressed with the digitizing on this design.  It doesn't look like it was machine embroidered, it actually has a hand embroidered look.  The person who digitized it didn't use a running stitch but rather a tiny zigzag like stitch.  The name of the kit is Snow Happens.
