Have you wondered what you can do to help Veronika to keep our favourite site running smoothly? As well as uploading new free designs each day she is working on improvements to the site so it would help her if we kept it well organised and attracted as many new visitors as possible.

So: Upload pictures of your wonderful machine embroidery in the Projects section to inspire others. If the designs you used were from the Cute family of sites, it would be an added bonus, but otherwise, please ensure that they are legal!
Share your other hobbies in the Sewing or Crafting sections of the Community area.
Post links to free designs in the Freebie section, but only if you are certain that the site offering the designs does not have any illegal designs and after you have checked that you are not duplicating another Cutie’s post.
Finally, remember that the Moderators are here to help, you only have to ask!

This was so well said by Chris it could stand to be REPEATED**** I don't post freebies mainly because we already have two well respected Cuties who do this and I find that that is enough. I usually get information from the companies that I've bought from and they have information on their sites. Carolyn

I had not seen this post before. Thanks for bringing it to the top, Sue. One suggestion I have is this.......Would it be possible for the 4X4 embroidery designs to be digitized in 2 or 3 sizes. That is 4X4 and 7X5 or 6x10. Not being a digitizer I have no clue as to how hard this could be. Only a suggestion. Hugs Marg

We can pass that on to Veronika for you, Marg.

I would love to see the Designs by Cuties reinstated again. That was what got me hooked on this site at the beginning seeing just what could be done.

I don't see that ever coming back. I wonder about the Ms Loretta scholarship. it should be used or retired.

It likely won't ever come back either Bev.***
Oh for the good old days lol

If you have a look at the last six recipients of the scholarship you'll see only the very last posted a few projects, the other 5 never posted any project at all during the six months they enjoyed the scholarship, or after. Would you go on giving away scholarships? I would not.

And as for DBC, a few posters totally ignored the rules of copyright even after being warned by PM.

Thanks so much Sue to you and all our wonderful moderators. I must have missed this post!

I don't post freebies mainly because we already have two well respected Cuties who do this and I find that that is enough. I usually get information from the companies that I've bought from and they have information on their sites.

I love the way this site has all the little headings over on the left hand side. I just wish Miss Veronika would have a Search area that is by name and not by number. It would make it so much easier searching for designs.

I appreciate everything that she is doing to keep this site free from any legal issues/obstacles. Love and blessings Chris

Hi Sue, Many thanks to all you moderators for the help you provide!! One idea that might help the site run easier is for the Cuties to have more control over editing their personal information. This would free up you moderators and Veronica from dealing with a simple email or picture change. Keep up the great work all!!!!

Welcome as a moderator, you are such a busy person I don't know how you fit in all you do! I guess it's the old saying "Ask a busy person....".

I'm sure you, together with the other moderators will help to keep this site the treasure I have always valued.

I've been a member here since about 2 weeks after this forum opened - used to have a different name then, so I've pretty much seen all the ups and down Veronika has had to deal with. I sure she fully appreciates her Moderators.

A number of us have been here the entire time. I know many did leave, but I have stayed. WE are almost like family. This is what holds us together! Kay

Great todo list, Sue. One more comment - when you go to an event, pass the site name along to the innocents sitting there who don't know about this great site.
