Let's talk....Embroidery!

Does anyone here machine embroider?

I have 2 machines that sew & embroider.
A Janome 11000 & Sears/Kenmore19010

There are 1000's of free sites to get patterns.

No, but I do embroidery by hand. My friend used to do embroidery with that liquid paint. That never caught on with me. I would be interested in seeing some of your machine work, though.

The only embroidery I do is when I knit a sweater I make a homemade label as well. Just simple chain stitched lettering. For my wife I use a label that says "Sew Domestic" (a reference to her comments when we were dating when she found out I knit, crochet, cook, and bake). And for my daughter, who loves the Disney princess movies, the label says "Daddy's Princess" in a font patterned after Walt Disney's handwriting. Each of the labels says "Made with 100% love." I made a sweater for myself once (turned out terrible and I never wear it) and I used a "Sveaters by Bjorn" label reflecting the Swedish influence in my mother's hometown and my love of teddy bears.

Does anyone know where to go online to find some of the more unusual embroidery stitch directions?
