Stitching cute

I know so many people love the look of stitching on everything. I do, but I am not good enough with stitching on paper with a sewing machine, so here I have simply drawn the stitching in by hand, it looks cute, but perhaps would be even better if I could learn to stitch with a machine.  I see those adorable hand-held machines all the time, but I also see people who can't ever seem to make them work.  This adorable image is from Scrapbook Stamp Society artist Sherri Baldy.

So, my question to you guys is, does anyone own one of those little machines and get them to work?

    I use a sewing machine for clothing but on cards I sew by hand.

    There's nothing wrong with drawn stitching - it can be just as effective - great card!!

    She is so sweet Holley, lovely colour and design. Thank you for your kind comments on my work. To answer your question. I use my Spectrum Noir pens as the come, no new nib, and love colouring with them.
