Does anyone have an embroidery machine? I am thinking of purchasing one, not an expensive one, just a basic to get me started.

I have seen a woman at our local craft shows for about 3-4 years running, she takes a picture or panel from a piece of fabric (i.e. an outdoor scene, an animal, flowers etc...) she cuts around it and satin stitches it on a sweatshirt or T-shirt, then embroiders around the neck and sometimes the cuffs. Just a simple design with a machine. She sells these for $9.95 & up for Tee's and $19.95 & up for sweatshirts.

Her booth is the absolute busiest at these craft shows! If there are 2 shows on the same day, she runs one and her husband runs the other.

So, do any of you have an embroidery machine, and have you every made money from using it?

Does this sound like a good idea??

I don't want to go back to work, outside of my home, but I have to think of something!
