Important information for Yahoo members about FREE designs

Beginning in September I start sending out a FREE design attached with some of my weekly updates. To receive these designs your Yahoo settings for this group must be set to 'Individual Emails'. Also, please add me to your email list to accept attachments. ( Lauras_Sewing_Studio@yahoogroups.com)

To keep the file sizes down the designs are only available in ART3, PES, & HUS. If you need another format, there is conversion software available you can use. My personal favorite is Buzz Tools

Those on 'Digest' or 'No Mail' will NOT receive these designs. With over 12,000 members, I cannot respond to individual requests for the designs. Therefore, request for the designs will be ignored. After all of the free designs from a collection have been sent out, I will post the collection to the website forsale for a nominal price. So if you miss a design you may get it then.

By going to 'individual mail', don't worry about receiving so much mail from me that it will clog up your mailbox. I will be sending only 1 or 2 messages per week.

I will continue adding a new free design to the group files every month or so. You won't want to miss collecting those either.

Note: Please know that I will do all I can to make sure the free designs fit the 4x4 hoop, however designs with more details often times require larger hoops and will not sew well in the small 4x4 hoop. So if your machine cannot sew a design larger than 4x4, just save the bigger designs for when you have a machine with a larger hoop. I've been in the same situation so I know how it feels.

All designs were digitized with Artista or PC Designer software.

All designs are zipped (compressed). If you do not have an unzip utility, you can download a free one at
Winzip

The following are designs that were sent to members via email with my website updates.

Coaster - This is a lace edge for a fabric coaster. Sew this on a heavy water soluble stabilizer. Cut a circle of fabric to fit the center. Finish the edge of the fabric with your serger or sewing machine. I used a wing needle and stitch # 115 on the Pfaff 7570. Then zig zag the lace to the edge of the fabric. File now includes a 4X4 size in HUS format.

Freebies for 9mm and Maxi designs for Pfaff machines only.
