When I drag and drop designs into their folders sometimes they get dropped into the wrong file then I do a computer search. Also visit your recycle bin and have a look for it there.

I have lost letters this way also and would find them when I drug the next letter into the other file.

Do you use Windows? If so, then to go your My Documents folder where you should have a sub-folder called Downloads. In there, you should have all the files you have downloaded. If you right-click in an empty space you will have a small window pop up with View, Arrange Icons By, etc. Click on Arrange Icons By and the click on Name. All the downloads will appear in alphabetical order.
Drag along until you find 'funnypiggyfont a' and 'funnypiggyfont s'. You can then open those files and save them again.
I don't know what you did wrong, if you did do anything wrong. I do know how you feel, though. That's how I found out about using the downloads folder a long time ago.
I have 'mended' or completed a lot of collections by finding the lost files in the Downloads folder.

This Downloads folder was an automatic folder and is different from the My Machine Embroideries Designs which I had to create and where I keep all of my unzipped singles and sets of embroidery designs.

I do hope this helps.

Thank you all for the warm welcomes, I guess I just panicked at the time, since I had been so good at remembering to get each one. Sorry I made you cry, though.

If you can't find the missing one send a Private Message to embroiderymad. She is starting to compile the list of letters folks need so we can all vote them in right when Piggy ends.

I had the same problem with all the designs on top of each other. The Piggy and the Blot font. When I renamed them, they turn out OK. Maybe it is worth the try for you too. I just put an extra . in front of the .PES. eg: piggyfont-a..PES

Drag the A out of your folder/file onto the desktop. Check to make sure it is tha A, then copy it to the desktop and write, "A renamed", as the description and then drag it back into the file /folder. Make sure it changed to A alone and not covered by another letter. Than go back and do the same thing to the S. I had that to happen on another font from Amazing and my son showed me what to do with it. He is a computer whiz and I really thought he was nuts but it worked. He also told me to make a different folder/file and name it as bad file and save the designs like that until you get through with the whole alphabet and then delete the file after you check everything on the "good" file. I had everyone thinking I was nuts when it happened to me until several more found out theirs was the same way.
