They are great fun to use I have had one for about five years.
They make beautiful cards as well as other things to sell or give as gifts.
I would not be without mine.

I have made Christmas cards out of mine, only for family though as they take so long to embroider and you have to change all the cottons, then trim off all the threads and loops. Very labour intensive!
