You know, FUN stuff. Not hemming. After many learning moments and a lot of errors over the course of 5 years, I decided to upgrade my small Brother sewing/embroidery machine to a top of line, I can do anything machine. So last May I broke down and got a new machine after weighing the pros and cons of spending thousands of dollars on my new, fledgling hobby.  Enter the Babylock Unity. I took a lot of pictures of the machine after I got it home. Yeah, I know kinda lame but it was brand spanking new and shiny . So of course, I had to memorialize its arrival, because I hope I never have to buy another one. And I was promptl...
