Hello [img]images/smiley_icons/wavey.gif[/img] and thank you for the greeting Grinnin Gramma. [img]images/smiley_icons/flowers.gif[/img] My name is Shannon and I am living here in Canada. I am an "Americanadian" (thanks to my patriotic Mom, a Jersey girl). My husband is British, born and bred in Blighty. I have two daughters who are interested in having phrases on everything! That and beads. Girls cannot get enough of beading can they.



I feel only slightly discouraged by the advice that I should start out with something more simple than embroidery. I'm keen to learn. Would something called the "hoop-it-all" be of much help to me on a machine or with the embroider punch or is my thinking way off base?
