Thank you so much! This piece was made with a Janome 6600, the Violet tamed Chaos also, but I am now working on an orange one but that one I am doing with a Janome 7700. I can't say which of the two machines I prefer. Thanks a lot for your compliments, they mean a lot to me!

For this project, the machine was a Janome 6600, for the violet I used Janome 7700.

Your work is very pretty. I am taking this course also but do not have many decorative stitches on my machine. I may do more hand work on mine.

I think that the handstiching will make the beauty of the piece, not the machine.

Gorgeous! The richness of this piece is beautiful. I HATE it when my students make better art than I do! (Only kidding -- actually, I LOVE IT!)

So kind of you - I only followed your hints and advice. Your course was so instructive! Next time, however, I would do a couple of things differently. I already have some ideas... I really LOVE your work!

It was so much fun playing with the different stiching patterns, yarns and threads. Now at last I know my machine ;-)
