I do and also teach different things on the different machines. What is your machine and can you tell me more of what your looking to do?

Well, I'd start playing around with different stitch patterns (which at least take up more time than plan St St. Also, I loooove machine knitting big swaths of fabric and felting them, then doing stuff to it.

As far as embellisment, it depends on your style, there's embroidery, of course, but also duplicate stitch. And you may consider making icord embellishments!
