  • OMG! FAKE SOFTWARE - Cleanthis

    Do NOT open any email that says Cleanthis. It is disasterous!!! Do not scan! Do not agree to pay! My brother took 4 hours of hard work and $80 to get this one removed.

  • Re: Freestanding Lace FSL ~ How to make the stitch file

    Digitizing FSL is a challenge for any digitizer. The underlay must be just so and a single mm of inaccuracy makes it a mess of strings. I don't digitize, but I do watch how any design is laid out. My The Computerist blog for this week discusses a way to review a design for just that sort of thing.
