I find that I am usually looking for useful things to 3D print. A friend who has one would probably be happy to print any useful item

I had a customer last month asking for some custom embroidered patches for their work-shirts. Apparently there is no longer anyone in town who does it. I may be hitting you up for a price-estimate the next time they come by.

What did you get for an embroidery machine? I’ll probably pick one up in the next year or two. Still trying to decide the right model for my needs.

You mean your other GF, right? 'Cause you haven’t had your REAL GF for 2 years.
Any input is appreciated. Thanks!

Im definitely enjoying it. The wait was long but worth it. Im trying to go through the features one by one, starting with the more basic stuff first. So far its been going great! This morning I got a little frustrated but before I even had a chance to notify the gf staff, my issue was alleviated.
Cant wait to try more materials and combinations thereof!

I would appreciate any input on that front, so many choices and all are expensive
Edit: sorry if you read that before I corrected to I would appreciate, seemed extremely rude the other way lol
Our makerspace had one of these, but nobody knew what to do with it. My wife is a quilter, and I’m willing to play with any sort of software, so we taught ourselves to use it. We were really impressed by what a $300 machine can do.
Even more fun was teaching classes and helping other makers use it!

Whoa. Just… whoa.
So your saying they’re pretty cool and useful then?
Hehe… jk. But seriously, your design skills are what seem amazing on that list. Wow
Embird? That’s one I got a trial of but haven’t done much with.
I have the Brother ULT 2002DT - love it, but wish I had a newer model (I got this one years ago - uses 3½ floppies instead of USB.
Of course I bought the “D” version as it is Disney ! This pic is a stock one - not my actual machine(but is same make/model)-fyi
