I'm seeing designs designated as "MYLAR" ......could you tell me what that means? Or how you would use them differently from any other design??? THANX in advance :)

Barb, Mylar is a sort of iridescent paper or plastic that is integrated into an embroidery and it gives nice reflections (cute with butterfly design)

Yes you do. Then tear it off gently when you have embroidered the design. I have just used this on two designs, and when I can get hold of some more mylar, I will be embroidering everything that stands still!
