Anyone have any machine embroidery books they really like? I'm looking for one with helpful tips and project ideas, but our stores don't have anything in stock every time I look. There are quite a few on ebay and Amazon, but I'd like to hear some real reviews.

Thanks!

I just bought Nancy Ziemens Complete Machine Embroidery and it is a very basic book, with some great tips. I inherited my machine from my sister, so its been a total 1 step forward 2 steps back learning experience for me, the book has been really helpful.

Embroidery Machine Essentials is the one by Jeanine Twiggs I think she has several but that is the one I have and it's pretty good.
I'm regressing back into my youth, I just have to figure out how I'm going to convience my body to come along with me.
