Since December when I received my new Brother P-770 embroidery machine I have been embroidering up a storm. When I go to the stores I look around for totes, beach towels, ribbon, caps, anything and everything is something to write/ embroider on. No one surface is safe!!!

I can see how embroidery can be a really fun way to make money as a home business. What is your favorite things to embroider?? Do you like to buy store bought things and embroider them, make your own or buy embroidery blanks?

Optional: Cut a 2"X2" square of your choice main fabric or lining. This strip of fabric is used to clip a key fob to your coin purse later. We used a 1.5
