[I wasn't prepared for how it would dwarf my se350!]
People always ask about my machine, so I'll give my "unofficial" pe770 review. Reasons why I'm liking it...
- It's an embroidery-only machine, so I can keep my se350 just for sewing and don't have to switch out parts everytime I want to embroider.
- Hoop size. It takes up to a 5"x7" so I FINALLY feel like I can do bigger kid things now. Yet it will still take my 4"x4" - which I prefer for onesies and monograms.
- It stitches much faster, and 'cleaner'. (But of course that's prob just because my se350 is due for a tune-up. It stiches really nicely too.)
- It will read designs from a USB port. I had to use a software and PED card for the 350.
But at the end of the day, I really do have 2 great machines!
I was chomping at the bit to take it for a test spin last night, and you KNOW my first project had to be for my Knox...
[I'm so partial to whales. I do them ALL the time..]
Love, love, LOVE how this set* turned out. I may do 5 more just like it to jumpstart Knox's Spring wardrobe. I did hit a few kinks just trying to get to know my new machine so it's not as "clean" as I usually like (I'm kind of OCD...), but I was able to save it and it is definitely wearable!
He needs a haircut, I know... But oh my goodness, he's just so cute! ;)
I adore my babies' names and since sissy has a Hadley Carter shirt, I felt a David Knox one was in order...
[He was so proud of the choo-choo train he made on the fridge... ALL ABOARD!!!]
Best thing - it's been like 80 all week, so Knox will be wearing his new set TODAY :) Bring it on, Spring...
Looks like my weekend will be busy doing more work at my machines... I've got several "orders" for friends to complete, and even more half-way complete projects for my own kids.

This is exciting news!!! Let me know when you get caught up a bit and I would lovvvvvvvvvvve to place an order :)
Do you have an etsy site? I am expecting my second baby in July and your onesies are adorable.
Cute! I like the whale look too & I think knox's hair looks so cute longer... I have been letting my boys hair grow out, my son likes it long like Justin Bieber's hair! ha!
Adorable! I love your work and have searched etsy for someone with work I would call comparable to yours but no such luck. If you ever decide to take outside orders I would love to be put on your list! I have a basic sewing machine in my craft closet that I have yet to (3 years) learn how to use. I am the type to really desire to do crafty projects and get myself in way over my head. Well, enjoy your new toy and the beautiful weather while it lasts. Where I live we are being teased with a few nice days and expect some MORE snow.
so awesome!! congratulations on your new toy!!
That (and sewing too) is something I would love to learn how to do!! you can make such neat things :)
was your other machine the enthusiast? my friend just got that one but we cant find any new designs to download, would love to make my daughter onsies like the sweet ones you've made, but the designs it comes with arent quite baby friendly!
Did you make the shorts as well? I am looking to make some stuff for my boys for this summer.
I know I comment every time but I know now I need one of these machines!!!!!!!!
I am just so afraid I wouldn't be able to figure out how to use it!!!!!!
As for the whale do you just free hand your designs?
Congrats on the new machine!!! You do awesome work! I think I may have to get one too!
