I too had been looking for a reasonably priced embroidery machine for a very long time...I finally found a really nice, refurbished machine on Overstock.com
This is a very nice gift idea. I found some nice white towels I am still trying to find a nice rose template though... any thoughts?
Aw, I'm so disappointed. I really thought I'd win that machine...so sad :(
I've been looking for the sign up page also I think they should give use all one just for trying.LOL
I listened to the show, and it mentions that September is National Sewing month, so I guess we have all missed the chance. It should have been mentioned that it was a repeat. Darn, Darn and double darn!
I've been searching also, and it seems that show was pre-recorded from 2007.
