Quesion. Generally the designer says to use cutaway stabilizer, tearaway, or washaway according to the design but one designer in South Africa says to use muslin. Does she mean the cotton fabric we call muslin in Alabama or is there a link missing in inte
Warning!! Precuts are the rage right now, but beware. The accuracy is inconsistent. I needed lots of 10" squares in a variety of prints so I ordered a packet. When I went to starch one before cutting because bias strips are involved, I found the s
FYI - recently a Cutie wrote that she has transferred all her over 4000 designs to a couple of USB flash drives.I was envious and told my son tonight I was going to get some large capacity ones to do this. He works in the accounting business and transfers

Question. Does anyone have a Viking Diamond Delux? Will it accept USB sticks that are not Viking? The repair man put in a "new Board" but the machine still will not recognize anything but Viking. I don't think that is the way it should be. Thanks. j
Though the years I have acquired perfectly good napkins that were too stained to use at the dinner table. I use them for lining ITH designs where the lining will not show when the piece is finished or with careful planning, I can bypass the stain and use
Copyright Question. Obviously one cannot use another person's design in her creation and send it to Cuties or anywhere else, but what about words? Say I want to put an original poem or saying into words; must I digitize all the letters or can I use a sim
Years ago it seemed every designer had a pattern for a watch band, but now when I need a fabric one - zilch. Does anyone know where I might purchase an embroidery pattern? Yes, I could probably figure it out but I would rather let someone else make t
Please, does anyone know of a site for FSL music lyres? Criswell has one but it in a set for $20.00 and I only want the lyre. I ran a Google search and found lyres but not lace. Thanks. jobaby
