How do you know if you are a member? I have a log in acct. How much is it if you have to pay a fee?

You are a member if you have paid the $29.95 membership fee. With the fee you get ALL of the designs on CuteEmbroidery.com, CuteAlphabet.com and LovelyEmbroidery.com. At the top of this page is a link named "Subscription" where you go to buy a 6 month subscription to this site, and I can personally tell you that it is WELL worth it. There are hundreds of designs on the 3 sites. When you look at the list of embroidery designs on Cute Embroidery there is either a Pink or Blue Bird. The pink ones can be voted on to be given as free. The blue will never be free, you can only get them by paying $1.00 for each design or you can get them all for the $29.95 membership fee. You also get everything else added to the site within the next 6 months of when you join. I have sewn out numerous of these designs and they are so well done that I personally have never had one that was a problem to sew out. The digitizing is amazing. So, welcome aboard and happy embroidering! ;)
