Just got on this site. How long has this alphabet been out? I only have a few letters! How does it work?

Gloria, welcome from me as well, and a flower for you. What the ladies said about the Berryfont is right, I think we're mostly thru that as a freebie. Each part of the site gives a free design every day, which we get to vote on. Some of the designs can't be voted on as frebies, ever, so they are just available to members. I'm just a member like everyone else, not a salesperson, but seeing you've only been here a few times, I thought I'd mention this. If you count up the designs on Cute, Redwork, Alpahbets & Lace, and divide them by the $30 *six month* membership, that's only pennies per design. If you bought one alphabet at $26, that'd be like getting the rest of the hundreds of designs for $4!! And if you like the Berryfont, be sure to check out the Christmas font and the Firebird font. There are some photos in Projects of both, I think. They are amazing! Once you sew out a few of the designs, you'll see how incredibly good the digitizing is, and how little trouble you have with any of the designs. Valentine's Day is coming up, maybe your "sweetie" could get you a membership instead of chocolate that only goes to our hips! Just don't let on to "sweetie" that you'll need the computer for several weeks to download designs, LOL LOL (right, Raels?)& that you won't be sleeping for a while, LOL. Just a thought. If you can't join, that's ok, but do think about posting your projects, and posting here in the forum. This is a great community, I'm sure you'll have fun here. Once again, Welcome, and glad to have you! Marji

Gloria, the berry fonts is all done as per say all the letters have been up at least once.But stick around and who knows with all the voting for missing letters you might pick up some more.Good Luck and welcome to the group of very informative ladies. Ask and you will receive an answer of some sort most always a very GOOD one. A flower coming your way reach out and grab it. Hope to see you on here some more.

gloriaj, welcome to the site, good to see you here. If by 'this alphabet' you mean the new *bug* alpha, it's only been here recently, and every few days more letters will be added. You can vote for the letter A and if it gets the most votes it might be offered as a freebie the next day. If it isn't, you just keep voting each day. If you let us know when you need certain letters, we will vote for them for you. Individual letters can be bought for $1 each. The other letters of this alphabet have *voting not available* on them which means they probably won't be offered as freebies. Only people who have bought a 6-months membership can download those ones, the same system applies to all designs on all 4 sites - (Cute/Redwork/Alphabets/Lace), if you decide to buy a membership you can download every design for the next 6-months. Here's a flower for you, and enjoy downloading your freebies.

Just realised that the freebie for today is the Z of the *berryfont* alpha, that's possibly the one you were talking about. That one has been all the way through, but hang around because we are still voting on a number of letters, so some of them just might return as freebies.

This is one of the best sites that I have seen, because the amount of new deigns and everything you can think of and some of the best alphabets you could see. The best thing is to take out a subscription that way you will never miss any design that is on all the Cute,Lace,Redwork and alphabet site for the whole 6 months and also you can download anything that is already on these pages, that will keep you busy for a long time. Good Luck hope you join, you certainly wont regret it. Regards Dixie
