Memory Craft 12000
Monday, May 23, 2016

I received my machine at Christmas and am still learning all of the features (honestly, this machine does so much, I will be learning it for quite some time to come!) I am loving making personalized items for my new granddaughter. The hoop sizes are incredible. I have also personalized towels for graduation gifts and again love the large hoops that allow large personalization. I recently memorized a "Made by name and date" to add to all of the items I am making. This would also be a great way to make labels for my quilts. When making quilts, I really like the large throat on the machine. It certainly makes machine quilting much easier. Can't wait to learn all of the features of the machine and put them to use!! Love, love, love this machine!!
