I came across this website and have enjoyed reading all the questions and answers. I'm trying to figure out how to get around but I will just have to come back often and learn! Thanks for letting me join!

Welcome. We have kids of similar ages. Fun, isn't it?
Here is a cut and paste of some tips from another new Cutie post:

Clicking "reply" will send the post to the top of the page.
Clicking "comment" under a reply will send the reply to the top of the post but will not send the post to the top of the page.
Experiment on this post of yours. Be sure to click submit under the box you fill out.
Welcome!

By the way. Flowers are for fun, saying thank you, and marking a post you read. Click the flower and it changes color. You can only give one flower to each post and you cannot give yourself one. You also get a flower for coming to Cute ever day. Your flower count will show up under your screen icon.

For more information look to the left on this page and see "tutorials". You can also use the left search engine to help find things that have been tagged.
Glad you found us....its all in time how you learn to navigate...you learn each day something new...WELCOME TO THE CUTE FAMILY...I put the community page as my favorite link..so when I click on it automatically goes here....the tabs you see are public/freebies/personal/private...

public is supposed to be for things that have to do with embroidery or sewing maybe warnings of viruses, etc....

freebies is where you can post freebies you have found and would like to share with others..you can find the links to other sites here for you to go to and download (dl)...

personals is where you find or post things that aren't really for public...these are where prayer requests, illnesses, family things, personal questions go....

private (PM) is an area where just you and the other person you are in contact can see. this is done by clicking on their name it goes to another screen..there is a tab under their name that says PRIVATE MESSAGE...by clicking on it you will be directed to another link to type something for them directly...remember only that person will see it. If you receive a pm from someone, you will see a +1 number on your private tab...this will indicate either one was sent to you or someone has answered the pm you sent...

in the blue area you will see the words designs/redworks/alphabets/lace/applique and cross stitch....these are the designs that our LOVELY VERONIKA (site owner) has placed the designs in..

off to the top you see other tabs designs by cuties or (dbs) is where our talented cuties have digitized their designs and posted them for us to dl...these are free and very much appreciated..

projects is where we post the lovely creations we have made....

reviews is a tab for how we rate different products we have used or have...

bookmarks is another area (before freebie tab) where other sites are for people to see and go to.

Community is where you are now..almost always someone or many can and will answer all your questions...here you find your new family and sooooo many new friends....here we share love laughter and tears..strength and courage to go through life as it is....

If you see a posting you want to go back to, up by the poster name their is a check mark..by clicking on it, you can save it and return to it late...
you also have a tabs that are my questions/my answers/marked...by clicking on one of these you get all the questions you have asked, or all the answers you have made, or the ones you marked by clicking on the check marks.

Welcome dowdydoodles! I just went and read your profile and it sounds like you will fit in here without a hitch at all. You are very talented and before you know it, we will be asking you questions! It is always fun to welcome new members to the group. Come often, stay as long as you can and just jump in anythime you want to. I am sure that all of us that do communicate(not shy) will welcome you as soon as they see we have a new member. We have many members from many countries and once in a while we will run across a language barrier but we usually find a way to communicate. Everyone here is alot of fun to visit with and for the most part, there are many very talented members. Most of them will share their wisdom with all that need help and alot digitize and share their designs on Designs By Cuties (Top right hand corner). Those designs are also free to all. I just dropped by a few yrs ago because I saw an ad for a free design that I thought was pretty and now I live here! It is addictive! Linda in Atlanta area

welcome on board, hope you enjoy to be here as much as we do, Be careful this site is veryy addictive(but it's a lovely addiction)
And before you wonder, because every new member wonders about the flowers; you can give and get flowers by clicking on the flowers as a thank you or as a compliment. the flowers change color if you click on them. So your number was 15 and I made it 16 now here at this question, but your total is 25 already!
You can get a lot of information of the site if you click on the text tutorial in the left column(text in blue)

Well a big Aussie welcome from me. I hope you find us a really helpful site. There are marvellous women and men on here who will help with any question. No question is too dumb. Remember, we were all new once ourselves.

I can't wait to see some of your projects - I think leenova (debra) has a Kenmore machine. I'll wait till she sees this post to say yay or nay.

Check out all the tabs in blue and up the top of the page under all the headings. In our PROJECTS section we have beautiful things our members have made. We have the very last tab as Designs by Cuties which has all the designs that our own CUTIES digitisers have done. We are a very welcoming and generous community of like minded souls.

Have a wonderful stay and I look forward to seeing more of you.

Love and blessings Chris, Newcastle, Australia

There are so many great, talented Cuties here that are willing to answer any questions you may have and we welcome your input. Also, the little flowers under your picture are just for fun. Your garden grows by answering questions, sharing projects and giving flowers to others. Cuties are just one big family.

Hi dowdydoodles! Welcome to Cuties! You will find a wonderful supportive group of people here who will willingly give you all kinds of advice for embroidery and anything else! Where do you live? What kind of sewing do you like to do? What machine do you use??? I'm thrilled I get to be the first to welcome you! Here is a flower for you! Hugs, Jan

Thanks for the welcome! I live in Ohio and most of my projects are home decor and dolls now. I used to sew dresses for my daughters when they were little. So, I switched to sewing dresses for dolls! I've made curtains and pillow shams...embroidery has opened a new world for me!! I use a Kenmore Ergo3 and have a dream to some day get a machine with bigger hoops. Nice to meet you!
