Dear Cuties, the Designs by Cuties has been closed because there were people (digitizers) not following the required rules, for uploading design on the DBC. There were designs without tested, also without the author of original artwork. In order to prevent similar trouble in the future, the DBC section was closed for total checking and updates (after updates, an each design will be pre-approved and only then it will be available for downloading). Sorry, this is happened, especially to our faithful digitizers, who always gave us good, tested designs and followed the rules. And Im sorry, the Cuties will miss out on the talents of these digitizers. I'll be work diligently to resolve this issue as quickly as possible. Please dont worry, take care of your health, life resume and will be even better, Im sure :) because we are together and I feel your love to Cute Family. Thank you so much and hope for your understanding and patience.



Love and Blessings to you and yours.

There are always those who spoil things for others. Whatever happens, the Cute family is behind you and thank you so much for your generosity. Thanks to all the digitizers who shared their work also.

I am not a digitizer and I am always so grateful to those of you who are and so willing to share with the rest of us. Therefore I am so sorry that you are having this trouble and so happy that you are willing to sort it out and share again afterwards.
Many thanks!!!

I am new to digitizing and I sure hope I was not one who did not follow the rules. I tried to do everything that it asked when I downloaded a design. I really feel for your having to go through each and every design. So much work! I hope all ends well for you especially! And if I downloaded a design I digitized, and did something wrong I sincerly apoligize! I would never want to cause anyone such trouble or headaches!
I am keeping you in my prayers and thoughts!

I haven't been on here much in the last while as I've been busy. When I came on and able to spend a little time, discovered dbc closed and found a little bit of explanation from comments in Q&A and figured out what was going on. This is the first I've seen this explanation from you, Ms. V. Sorry you have had all this extra put on you. It must be quite a task as I know how much time it has taken me since I first joined, to go through some of dbc (I keep promising myself I'm going to take the time and go through the whole thing - as there are such great designs). I miss all the neat designs other cuties put up.
I'm sure most of us (except maybe for newbies) have enough designs in our stash to easily keep us occupied until it is back. Thank you so much for all you do for us and the digitizers that create awesome designs!

by PetiteTexan 16 Oct 2013

Thanks for the explanation. I found your site about 2 weeks ago and downloaded a FSL that worked perfect and was so upset I couldn't find were I got it to thank the digitizer. I got my first embroidery machine 2 months ago so I know nothing at all. I am looking forward to learning. And from what I had seen from everyone here I hope to join the family. Some day I hope to be able to contribute also. Everyone seems so kind and willing to help without being judgmental of the lack of knowledge of us newbies.
Thanks Sherise-Texas

Thankyou Veronika for all your hard work & lovely gifts.I have watched your site grow over the years. I wish I had more hours in the day to stay here but I'm now trying to learn to Digitize & for me it is not easy (It sure makes my brain work) It has saden me to see designs untested as a stitchout on the computer is not the same as the machine stitchout also outline stitching seams to be hit & miss. As Christmas is approching very fast Please have time for yourself & family. This family will still be here. I think of you as Sewing Mum (Mom)

Just got on this morning. Thank you Miss Veronika for working to keep this site going. It means a great deal to many people(myself included). It is encouraging to see so many Cuties who are good willed and patient. I would hope to be as generous in my time and talents as you have shown yourself to be. I think if we were to have a bit of history from each Cutie, we would all see how a seemingly small item like a single design, has gone on to allow us to imagine, create, and give...all actions that double back upon us and fill our lives with purpose and most importantly, Love. Thank you again and again. Therese

Veronika, from all the wonderful comments, know that you are loved and supported by so many friends, all over the world. When I joined this site about a year ago I knew nothing about embroidery. By reading other posts and asking a few, rather ignorant questions, I have learnt so much. I still have so much to learn and rely on the wonderful knowledge of all the experienced 'Cuties'. The free designs have been amazing and a way for me to learn but they are not the main reason this site exists, well not in my mind! I am in awe of the digitizers who manage to create such wonderful designs and love to look through them, dreaming that one day I may be clever enough to create something so beautiful,(but knowing I won't!!). This must be such a huge burden for you. Please take care of yourself, you are more important. Don't work yourself to death over this, life is to enjoy. If we get the free designs back, great, but not at the cost of your health. True Cuties will feel the same, I am sure. We come here to learn something new, be inspired by the many wonderfully creative people who post their projects, follow the progress of other Cuties lives, share in their happiness and sorrow. Most importantly we come here to brighten our day and feel part of a special family. So take time out for you. You have given us all something so special, a family. I, for one, appreciate everything you have done and continue to do. Thank you ♥

Veronika, this site is a very important part of the lives of so many people around the world. You have created a wonderful place for us to come for friendship and knowledge about our shared passion. I'm sure that I speak for all when I say we can be patient while you do whatever needs to be done to solve the current problems. Unfortunately, for some, it is a place to come and grab something for nothing and that is a shame. They don't know what they are missing!
DBC has been very important to me in the four years I have been a member of the community. It enabled me to sample the work of a variety of digitisers and learn how good designs were constructed. After that, it gave me a place to share my own designs while I served my apprenticeship as a digitiser. The help and support of fellow community members has been amazing and I could not have achieved what I have without them.
So you see what you have done is probably so much more than you ever thought was possible when you started and it is worth protecting and preserving. Take your time, we understand how difficult it will be.

Thank you for clearing the air of misunderstandings! I was truly concerned that you were deeply involved in an ugly legal process. And indeed you are very involved and are probably working overtime to the point of exhaustion. I hope that you tend to your health, and let the DBC portion of the site come back when you are satisfied but not burned out or exhausted. You have created something very beautiful here. You have given us a place to come learn, socialize and share. I've learned more here than I could have possibly learned on my own, and enjoy my visits. We'll be patient, and will rejoice when peace once again falls upon your site. Best wishes. Deanna

Veronika

I have learned a lot on this site from everyone. The one design I posted to DBC is one from a picture of my friend's dog. I had her permission and we both worked on the design. If you have any questions or need to verify the design I can have Paula get in touch with you. Just trying to help in any way I can to make less work for you.

Thanks for everything you and al the other cuties do to help us out.

Dear Ms Veronika,
My "career" as digitizer started on Cute, and I really appreciate all the feedback I have received from my family Cute, giving me confidence and encouragement to create, developing my skills and open my own website. I have asked to remove all my designs from DBC, to fix some of my earlier designs I did when I was still learning digitizing, and I hope to put them back eventually. Thank you for all you do for us, and I pray this issue will be resolved smoothly. I love you, and love this beautiful family! Love and blessings to you. Yoriko

Dear Ms Veronika - what an enormous task you have set yourself and staff!!! I remember when the DBC list was about 100 designs long and I thought that I'd found Aladdin's Treasure Trove. It took me a long, long time really understand what DBC was all about and since then it has grown to a huge collection of wonderful designs - designs by amateur digitisers, true, but as they gained their confidence and felt the acceptance and shared joy their designs brought to other members many of them have gone on to create viable businesses for themselves and their advancing designs. Without your vision these people might still be floundering at the beginning of a digitising career or, worse still, have given up on the hard work needed to digitise good designs. What a generous, caring and sharing person you are.

Far from feeling the need to placate us as we wait for the new DBC list to begin, we will be waiting patiently and, without putting extra pressure on you, we will be backing you all the way. You have created a unique website that has become the focal point of many a member's new day. I thank you for the work you are doing on the new DBC list and, while it will put extra pressure on already busy people, it will safeguard your integrity which we all know is of the highest standard. Rightly or wrongly, wittingly or unwittingly, rules do get bent and broken, often with disastrous consequences, probably more from carelessness or an exciting sense of achievement than from malice.

Thank you, Ms Veronika, for spending time and effort on re-creating the DBC list and not removing it completely from this wonderful site. It is such an integral part of burgeoning digitisers' lives, and those who can't digitise, now that its complete removal would be sad loss.

Veronika, thank YOU for your message. This site has become important to me - with or without DBC - although I enjoy that section and appreciate the work of the digitizers. I visit at least twice a day - sometimes more - checking in on my Cute FRIENDS and seeing how they are doing and what they have been up to. I have gotten much comfort and inspiration and I am glad you have made this wonderful site available to us. Thank YOU again.

Thak you so much for all you have done to bring a family of cuties together from all over the world. I have received so much strength, comfort and love from members of this site when illnesses have struck my family. I reached out to strangers and they became my friends in an instant. I received encouragement to help me through days that seemed impossible. This is so much more than just an embroidery site. I thank you from the bottom of my heart for making all this possible. With hugs, blessings and love to all. Barba

First, let me say thank you Miss V and our moderators who continue daily to help make this site the family that it has become. It is wonderful to know that DBC will be back up in the future. The task to review all of the designs seems to me to be quite overwhelming. This community is a part of my day and I look forward to sharing, caring and consoling the many friends I have made here, as well as having them do the same for me...I so appreciate your letting us know what is happening...we will remain patient and kind and happy that you have provided us with such a warm community to visit...Love and smiles...

Thanks for the update, I appreciate all the hard work you all go through maintaining your website. It has been one of my morning rituals before and after work to visit and still is but without the DSB section it didn't take as long and I've missed that section. I love seeing the projects and everyone's link they share to keep us well stocked with nice things to sew. Thanks to everyone for all you do. Sharon

Good morning Cuties, how encouraging to come on here this morning (it's 8.00am Eastern Daylight Saving time) and see all the positive comments from Cuties from around the world.
I, too, have found lots of learning, comfort and friendship from everyone around the world on this forum and I pray and hope Veronika that you will not be too damaged by the events that have occurred.
We all love and appreciate everything that you do for us on here. I too am sorry to see the wonderful DBC section gone, but rules are rules. I know with everyone's love and support this site will go on to become the once fabulous place it was and has always been.
Love, prayers and blessings Chris, Newcastle, Australia.

Ms Veronika, Whew! Now I can get up in the mornings and know what to do while I have my cup of coffee. I LOVE seeing what other Cuties are digitizing and also love planning to digitize something to share with the others. I wouldn't blame you at all for not wanting to put DBC back up after all the trouble it can cause. But, I am soooo happy to hear this feature will be back. Thank you for continuing to work through all the problems. This site is so very valuable to many of us for much more than the designs. Thank you, Jan

Dear Veronika - I am so sorry that this fabulous site and the Cuties and most of all you have been visited by troubles again. You, with such goodness and generosity opened this site to the members here to share with and be supportive to one another. I have been a member here almost from the beginning and have seen a huge amount of love and support shared amongst us. I do so trust that we can get back to the happy supportive place Cuties value so very much. Several contributors have become very able digitisers who now do so professionally - without the stepping stone you have given here that would not have been possible. I have learned so much since I joined as a very new (and even greener) machine embroiderer that I feel this is the strength of the site. I do hope I have expressed my feelings well and trust that you gain strength from the comments here.
With the greatest of respect to you I remain

Thank you for the explaination. So many rumours I didn't know what to believe. I know this upsets you as much as it does us and I'm grateful you are working on it. Gives us more time to chat and check out projects! Thank you Veronika!

Thank you dear miss Veronika, for all you do for us. Thank you for this update and explanation about DBC. Hope you and the site don't get into trouble because of this. A pre-aprovement of the designs is a great idea (but a lot of work for you and the moderators).
We can only be grateful for all you do for us, Cute is such a lovely site and we all have the Cute family-feeling. It's always a pleasure to be here. hugs and love for you and the moderators .

I'm sorry it had to come to pre-authorization in order to post in the DBC section. Hopefully, this new procedure will be a building block rather than a crumbling corner stone to a fantastic website that is family, friend, and teacher to so many the world round.

Veronika - I for one appreciated all that you and the other digitizers did for us by giving designs so freely - but with that said you did what you needed to do.
