Last night on one of the Yahoo groups that I belong to, someone shared the link to this video on YouTube.  I am so excited to try this sometime!  I have a Singer Futura CE-150 that I bought from Joann’s when they were on sale earlier this year.  It did not come with the Autopunch software as in this video but I lucked out and caught a deal on e-bay.  I got the Autopunch, Hyperfont, Photo Stitch, Cross Stitch and Editing software for $99.00.  I was kind of worried that it would be fake software or not work since all it was so cheap.  Right now, Joann.com sells the Autopunch software by it self for $399.00.  The cd’s that I got were original singer cd’s and worked just fine!  I have not not done a lot of custom embroidery work but this has just inspired me to.  To cricut and use your sewing machine!  How awesome is that!  FYI, it is national sewing month.  HSN has lots of deals on sewing right now.  They have the ce-150 like I have WITH all the software for $699.00 and free shipping.  5 flex pays for $139.00 per month.

I think that this is going to be awesome!  Think of all the images that you could try this with from the cartridges.  The frames to make your very own monogram.  It is simply amazing.

I recently used my sewing machine and made a cupcake potholder using one of cupcak svg’s that I posted several weeks ago.  I had to adjust the size and the “frosting” just a bit to make it work.  I am by means not an expert sewer and had to ask for help from my yahoo group friends on how to sew the curves of the cupcake.  For a beginner I don’t think it turned out bad, what do you think?

Like I said, I am definately not an expert, just a newbie.  I am still working on it, so once I get it all figured out I will share the directions if enough people express an interest in it.

If you have been waiting for the Gypsy to comes back to HSN here is is.  Or search item # 567-277.

It is a little different then the first offering.  It comes with the Destinations cricut cartridge.  I have not heard about it before but it would seem that it is an exclusive cartridge to this bundle.  No one else has it right now and I can not find any screen shots of it either.
