I’ve been thinking about buying a new embroidery machine. I currently use a Brother PE770 (no longer in production). It’s been a great machine and I’ve literally made 100s of items using it. But I’m ready for something a little better or that better meets my needs.

If you have an embroidery machine, what one do you use? What features would be a must on a new machine? Do you have any recommendations? Or maybe a dream machine? Let me know in the comments.

Zucchini Bread Muffins.

If you’ve had zucchini bread before, then you know how delicious and moist it is. Same thing for these muffins, only they are single serve size.
