Hello Liz,
Welcome!
I'm new here too. Members here are very friendly, and a mine of useful information. So much to look at, and catch-up on, at first. Still finding my way around.
Haven't tried machine embroidery, but the videos on YouTube are fascinating to watch. Especially that vintage two-thread Embroidery Attachment! Looks like a manic lobster. I could watch that running all day long!
