It is possible to have a page for cuties who want to contribute free designs. Please let me know a name for this page as you like.

When all legalaties are sorted and Cute can come up with a disclaimer perhaps a name as simple as.CREATIVE FAMILY CONTRIBUTIONS. It has no name related to Cute other than family and that is what we call ourselves and then takes the ownership of this section off Veronika and Cute so therefor are not then resposable for our misstakes etc. And if posts are illigal then it goes back to the contributer..

I am a member of a LOT of Yahoo groups and there has been a whole bunch of stuff going on between the groups in that one site is "stealing" designs from other web sites and posting and selling them as their own. I like the idea overall, but my suggestion would be to get some LEGAL ADVICE to some up with a disclaimer that "CUTE is not responsible for the contents of items displayed on this page, etc, etc, etc) just to protect CUTE. As I am sure you all know, copyright laws and infringement upon those laws is very tricky with substantial potential liability on all persons concerned.

I am not trying to rain on your parade as I do think it is a great idea and a way to share our work with others, but please protect yourselves.

yes and very true that is

You brought up a very good point, Eric. WE are honest people (Veronika included), but there are sure a lot out there who are not. And sometimes even honest people make mistakes without realizing it, so yes, legal protection by all means. Marji

This is a good read! In case you missed it!

What a BRILLIANT idea! Thank you for everything you do and to Everyone else too! I love the suggestions and will be only too delighted with what ever is decided in the end! The generosity of CuteEmbroidery and the Digiizers are sincerely appreciated!!

Thank you for all that you are doing for us! This is a wonderful idea!

Sounds good. Encouragement for me to try if (when) my life gets more normal/organized/less stress. *4U ><>

I like this suggestion!

ttt

You have lots of good suggestions and I wanted to add my grateful heart for what you have created here. It is like going on a trip with your girlfriends every day and I am happy that you organized the trip! All the best to you in all of your endeavors.;)

You've got lots of answers here veronika, I just want to say *thanks* for all your hard work, generosity and love to all of us here.

You've given us a beautiful place to meet and enjoy time with each other - if it wasn't for you sweetie, the rest of us wouldn't have met up.

Thanks so much veronika, you're the best. Love, hugs and flowers for you sweetie.

How about "Free Designs by Cuties". I like the 'Designs by Cuties', but if we want to make sure that people know they are free, why not just add that word to the beginning of the name?

I like "Free Designs by Cuties"*

by sandralochran 27 Aug 2008

I agree

I agree with Cute Gifts and wish to say a very big thank you to all those cuties who digitise and are willing to share their designs with us that are unable to. * to all

This just keeps getting better & better! Thank you Veronika, for all of your hard work & your SO generous
heart! And thank you Cuties, who would be willing to
share your designs (hard work & time!!) with us who don't digitize!!
Blessing to you all!!

I like Cuties Gifts. It is short and easy to understand. Jan

I love the idea. I like Designs by Cuties. Thank you Veronika! You are a beautiful person!

I have been thinking about this and I believe that whatever you come up with - as a collection of designers - that you will really need to state that the designs are given to the members by members that have digitized these designs in this creative outlet that has been provided through the generosity of Veronika and the CUTEEMBROIDERY website. So perhaps those that are given the designs could post to each other in private and make a decision of what they would like it to be called - together - like a group conscience amoungst them as a collection of designers. What do you think?

Yes, Shirlene, I think it should be clear that the designs are by the people here on the forum, not by Cute Embroidery, but that Cute is providing a place to download them. I'd hate for Veronika to take any flak because someone who didn't understand this didn't think a design was good, didn't realize it was done by non-professionals. We need to keep that distinction clear for those who might not know. M

by katydid 23 Aug 2008

I agree, it should be clear they are not associated with Cute. We know that we call each other cuties but someone not familiar with the site may think any title including cuties is part of Cute Embroidery. I suggested "Guest Freebies" because I felt it separated Cute from it. Maybe someone could come up with a clever wording meaning the same thing.

by clawton 23 Aug 2008

There could be a disclosure statement/explanation on the page where they are found. Something to the effect that they were graciously donated by individuals visiting and sharing on the site.

Just a thought....

Thanks all of you and especially Meganne - I like that alot - but I am not one of them - that will be giving - an informed group conscience should be taken amongst you. Hehehe!

by stitchship 25 Aug 2008

Most places also have copyrights, and I think that there should also be a statement protecting the individuals that made the designs, in the sense that sometimes there have been cases of people selling others work on line, as if it was theirs.

Thank You for all the hard work. How about ( Cute )Family Treasures

Veronica you are amazing. Thank you for all your hard work to make this site so special for us. We really appreciate all you do.

Guest Freebies

What a great thing!!! I'm so glad I found this place. How about Cuties Sharing?

Like this too!!!

What a wonderful offer!
I like "Designs by Cuties".
If placed in top blue bar with the "Today's free designs" I think everyone would understand that they are free. Just wish I could be a contributing person. But don't think digitizing is in my near feature.

I agree with celticlady -- Freebies by Cuties. Cuties refers to those who use the site; so no confusion as to whom they are from, and freebies is a universal word among the machine embroidery group.

Freebie Showcase

Thanks a lot it is a great idea. I couple had said "Cute Contributions" i like that one or "Designs bu cuties".

What a wonderful idea.Has to be simple so all understand..........Free Cute's Designs? Flowers for all

I like this idea - hope it works!

This is a GREAT idea. I think FREE, FREEBIE & FREEBIES are all universal words. How about....
Cutie FREEBIES
FREEBIES by Cuties

I do believe since the site is global that it should be easy for non-English speaking "cuties", as claudenicolas said. I too like the "Designs by Cuties" suggested by Shirl. Very generous of you!

I should like something that is easy to understand for the not-english speaking, like: cuties offer, from cuties to cuties, cuties gift...(correct my mistake of orthograph) so that we understand easily that it is free to download, and that cuties have been so generous to share. Some among us are not capable to create designs (myself for example) how can I thank for this generosity?

I like Shirley suggestion "DESIGNS BY CUTIES" Like that. Thank you Veronika. Everyday love this place even more.

i like that one

How about something like IN HOUSE DESIGNS, or CUTE STUFF. Anyway I think it's a great idea and hope to be able to contribute someday.

Thank U Veronika for the site & all U do. They'll come up with something I'm sure

Veronika, you are just the best!!!! It is a wonder to me that you work so hard for us, and that you have allowed us to be your Cute Family. Thank you from my heart. Many hugs to you, our Cute Family Mother. Marji

Wonderfull idea to have this possibility for our members.
How about "Cuties members design gifts"

Some thoughts....
1. Talented Cutie's Treats 4 U
2. Talented Cutie's Gifts to U
3. Generous Cutie's Gift Designs
4. Gifted Cutie's Gifts to U
5. Cutie's Own Gift designs
6. Talented Cutie's Treasure Trove

Thank you Veronika, for this very generous opportunity. hugs n roses, Meganne

it's a great idea, perhaps: "cuties offer"

That would be great. What a good idea.

Designs by Cuties.

Cutes Share. Thank you for setting up a page like that!

4QT's by QT's Bravo I love that you are going to do this!!! *
