Happy Monogram

Tonight I was able to start and finish an embroidered monogram in one pass! A first!

The major lessons I've learned are always use stabilizer (even on heavy material), and always check the thread, both upper and bobbin, for proper tension if the test piece doesn't pass.

As always, a dull needle, nicks on the throatplate or bobbin, or poor thread (old, or just not even) will also cause problems. But I'm starting to think I can handle this embroidery machine ... that I got three years ago at the very end of June. Ah well, at least I learned my way around it eventually!
