Hi, I was so excited to discover this forum - absolute heaven.  I'm a self-employed textile artist and work mainly with free-motion embroidery.  I'm also a weaver and work on my tapestries in the evenings while watching tv.  I have a passion for vintage sewing machines and knitting machines; my husband always gives me that 'you've got enough sewing machines' look if I find one in a charity shop. 
I'm looking forward to joining in with the conversations.  Thank you   :vintage:

Hi Michelle,

Welcome to the forum. It’s a lovely friendly place to hang out with some pretty knowledgable people.
Looking forward to hearing more about your work, it sounds very interesting.

p.s. I’m friendly but not very knowledgable. ;)

Hello, and welcome.  Knitting machines you say?  I'm just trying to get back into machine knitting after a 25 year break, and recently bought a Passap E6000 - now that's a challenge.

As others have said, we love to see what everyone has made, so share your pics  0_0
