Making with Marilyn

Hi, my name is Marilyn and I love to make! Actually, I am obsessed with making, watching videos about making, and thinking about making. I have created this channel so that I can share with others the joy of making. So please join me for a project sometime.

If you are interested in a Smartstitch multi needle embroidery machine, Amazon Prime Deals are in full swing and the prices are really good right now. I use the Smartstitch 1201, which is a somewhat compact 12 needle machine. But here is information that I include in my videos so that you can see the general differences in the machines:

10 Needle Machine (has a little larger hoop than the 12 needle but less needles and weighs more) www.amazon.com/dp/B0D6G2Y4P8?maas=maas_adg_E23DB57…

12 Needle Machine (this is the one I use - it's fairly compact and weighs less than the other machines)
www.amazon.com/dp/B0C6SZ986Q?maas=maas_adg_28B0C62…

15 Needle Machine (has a very large hoop and more needles than what I used but weighs more and is pretty large) www.amazon.com/dp/B0CCS8F3XR?maas=maas_adg_57228EA…

Patrice and I got through Block 1 and much of the way through Block 2 of the Butterfly Garden Hanger project Saturday night. We both finished Block 2 on our own. We'll be making Blocks 3 and 4 on a Youtube Live at 5 p.m. Central Time on Saturday, May 9th. After all Blocks are completed, we'll have a Zoom party so that everyone who is ready to sew them together can do it together! If you want to join in on the project, here is a link tot he project: swpea.com/products/butterfly-garden-hanger-4x4-5x5…

Blocks 1 and 2 of our Butterfly Garden Hanger project. Loving it so far. I left stitch 8 off of the 2nd butterfly. If you are doing the project with us, you'll probably know what I'm talking about.
