I volunteered to cover Eileen’s Multi Needle Monday while she’s teaching this week. Once I realized what I had done panic set in. After careful consideration (and excitement over using a newly purchased macro camera lens) I thought I’d take an entirely different approach for today’s blog post.
Have you ever gazed at your multi needle machine with a sense of wonder and awe at its beauty? Probably not. I hadn’t either until today. That piece of machinery is not only your source of income but a well-engineered machine – and today I’ll present it as a piece of art!
You’ll see an up close and personal look at a multi needle machine. But have no fear—Designs in Machine Embroidery Editor and blogger, Eileen Roche, will be back next week! In the meantime, enjoy! You’ll also want to scroll through for some unexpected surprises…
All the parts are so intricate. I couldn’t help but place a tiny little figure in the scene. Take a look at your multi needle machine in your sewing studio. Now imagine how TINY this little figure must be! One sneeze and he’s gone!
While my macro lens was an investment – just like your embroidery machine – they are meant to be used and enjoyed! Don’t be afraid to roll up your sleeves and use your machine both as a tool and a creative outlet!

I used to have a train set as a child– and I love miniatures! I never imagined combining this fascination with embroidery but it worked! 😉
Hope your model railroader enjoys the post!

Purely amazing.

11 years agoLoved your blog post and photos. I’ve had my multi needle since my birthday Feb 19th. I still haven’t even plugged it in. I go look at her but then decide I better not tackle it right now! Lol maybe someday soon I’ll take the leap. Your photos make it look not so intimidating. Thanks for the up close peek!
