You'll have a lot of fun with it.  My wife sure does.  She likes to sit by our fire during the winter and emroider after our kids have gone to bed.  It's just like a scene out of a movie.  I ordered her some machine embroidery patterns for her birthday a couple months ago.  I got them from the website that NateKerra recommended.  I'm not one who knows too much about embroidery, but I just thought you might like to know.  Happy sewing!
