All the Cuties on here do such a wonderful job on giving us free designs after they have worked so hard on them. How can the rest of us give back to you? Please tell us. knitty46

I think that the majority of cuties really appreciate all the hard work that goes into a design that they share with all. Thank you is hardly enough. Ruth

I don't sell my designs though sometimes I will accept payment for special design requests.

For me, being able to give something back to all my Cute family, who prayed for me and supported me during my battle with breast cancer, is something I am so happy to do. I am so grateful to still be alive to do these small things for my family.
Hugs n roses, Meganne

Thanks for asking the question in a first place! And thanks for all the comments. From our perspective, we agree with all of them. We love to show and give, because we love to seem the put to good use, being appreciated and commented on. We do also love to see our desings pop up as show-off projects of others or learn stories about how they have been used. (We really got the impression, our angles "conquered" the world by now ;c))

While we are not doing it for a bussiness, we DO offer people a hopefully convenient way of donating some money on our homepage, and needless to say that such donations are very, very rewarding for us. Not so much because of the money, but because free givings demonstrate that people value our work a lot!

One other way of giving back (to us) has been suggested several times but never been taken up: We are always on the lookout for nice new motivs to digitize for ourselves - in particular of the styles we have done so far. We won't promise to digitize all we get, but if you feel like a creative person and can draw (either with pencil or computer), sending in some suggestions for new (freebee) designs would also be a very nice way of "paying back". However, make sure you are not infrinding on anybody's copy-rights.

Giving is lots of fun, especially when it is appreciated so much! I wish I could give more and I will give more when I learn more! Thank you to all of you who give so freely of your time and talents, your ideas and your creativity! But truly, thanks just as much for your love and encouragement!

Just let the digitizer know that you found your design. Many will PM to ask for a design, I will supply a direct link,,,,,and never know whether or not they found it. Just PM me and say, I found it.

it would be nice if they were treated with respect
and not had lies posted about them
1 lie can do sooooooooo much damage
then others can't wait to lay the boot in
thats how some have repaid one of our cuties that not only gave free designs but also taught so many so much .

Here! Here! And she now seems to have left Cute, which is a tragic loss.

I think if the digitizers have websites that they sell designs on a small purchase from time to tome would be helpful. I don't want to come across as hard sell. I think you all know that I am not like that. But when you have a website it does require a lot of time effort and money to maintain. Giving is fun and makes be happy, but I do have a business. So that would be my suggestion. We are in business to make a living after all. That is just the reality, no point pretending anything else.
there is a list somewhere with all of the websites owned by cuties, I think sewmom might have put it together.

Not been here a day as yet and everyone has been so helpful. Wished I could bake cakes for you all. I bake wicked cakes, even if I do say so myself.
Huge thank you for all your welcomes, links and helpful information.

A thank you & maybe a flower once in a while is enough for me!! Sometimes it's nice to see one of my designs in projects too. Great to see them get used.......You guys are a great group and it is easy to want to give to you.......Hugs...Vicki

Having posted a couple of designs my answer would be to just enjoy them and a Thank You when you do. All I want is for someone to enjoy what I have created. I didn't post them for any type of repayment, just the joy of giving and they were fun to make.
