<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>as i wrote in a previous post,</b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>i was thrilled when, for Christmas, </b><br />
<b>meester berrong </b><b>gifted me </b><br />
<b>with a brother pe770, </b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>embroidery machine </b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>i'd been eyeing</b><b>.</b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><br /></b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>it was a proverbial breeze</b><br />
<b>to set up and start using.</b><br />
<b>however,</b><br />
<b>not so long after doing so, </b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>i started experiencing </b><br />
<b>a few kinks.</b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i>(immediately, john told me </i><br />
<i>to take it back</i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i>and get a bernina,</i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i>which his sister has </i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i>and loves.</i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i>he went on to say </i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i>he was going to </i><i>get me </i><br />
<i>the bernina </i><i>for Christmas </i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i>but wasn't sure </i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i>how serious i was about </i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i>embroidering.)</i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>anyway, i worked through </b><br />
<b>those first kinks </b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>with the help of youtube's </b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><a href="http://www.youtube.com/user/vincea51" target="_blank">vince arcuri</a>,</b><br />
<b>who retired from the military </b><br />
<b>and took up embroidering </b><br />
<b>as a hobby.</b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>if not for vince </b><br />
<b>and his experience </b><br />
<b>with the brother pe770,</b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>i would have been totally lost </b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>when i started experiencing issues </b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>with my machine.</b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><br /></b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><span style="color: lime;">~</span><span style="color: #e06666;">@</span><span style="color: lime;">~</span></b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><br /></b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>i embroidered and sewed </b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>pillows for my front porch </b><br />
<b>and monogrammed</b><br />
<b>a couple of scarves </b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>experiencing only a glitch </b><br />
<b>or two. </b><br />
<b>however,</b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>the third scarf was a totally </b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>different experience.</b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>doing everything the same </b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>as i'd been doing, </b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>i hooped my fabric, </b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>lowered my presser foot, </b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>and pressed the button </b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>to start embroiderying.</b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>when it started it seemed fine, </b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>but about 20 stitches in,</b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>i noticed my embroidery arm </b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>wasn't moving...</b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>hence, i stopped the process </b></div>
