The current situation, workspace-wise, is not ideal: my desktop PC is upstairs, my big embroidery machine (the 550e) is two flights of stairs away, in the basement. But in between is the 400e, which I've been using to teach Bonus Kid machine embroidery at the dining table. Very not ideal: we have to heft the machine onto the table to use it, and the embroidery arm has gotten bumped out of home position a few times which can't be good for it. There's also a perpetual stack of minky and vinyl and felt hanging around the table, plus the cutting mat and rulers and things.
Long story short: I spent a lot of time avoiding the machine altogether, and just doing embroidery design files. And now I'm getting them caught up. Some of them, I should have at least dropped in the Discord and FB groups as freebies while they were still in season, but oh well.
Anyway, apart from all the Ko-Fi/Patreon rewards, there's a free-to-everyone-right-now design as well.
