What is an Embroidery Machine?

The Brother SE2000 is a single needle embroidery machine quickly and accurately follows computerized embroidery patterns and recreates them with a needle and thread. The machine is capable of embroidering a number of decorative elements, including letters, patterns, and small designs. 

Badges Required

There is currently no badge for the Embroidery Machine. I can either put "Sewing" here as a place holder, or beg Kenneth (AGAIN) to make one.
