Progress
More garage clean up. I got the sewing notions and supplies together and found a place for most of the new embroidery stuff.
I was going over the embroidery stuff I had done on the white, I had made a few panels to be sewn into dice bags. I can't believe how bad it is in comparison. I had forgotten how much of a problem I was having with the bobbin tension. One failed piece half the time the bobbin thread was pulled through. :/
It makes me appreciate the new machine that much more. :)
Now I want to redo all that embroidery on the new machine. I will have to re-digitize all the stuff though. The white embroidery patter (*.WTE) is the only format not compatible with the software. (that is no accident) Fortunately it is not that big of a deal.
My sewing skills need work too. I need to get a couple of good draw string bag patterns and a pattern for a Man's tie. I figure that I can do a tie easily in the biggest hoop.
(edit) here is a nice lined drawstring bag tutorial:

and here is a good tie pattern:
