I do not know Applique Corner, but surely they would send the design in your size after you ex planed your mistake. This is not good customer service. I will admit that I have not bought from sites again that let a small mistake go unrectified. Kay

Surely they can see your mistake with all other designs being 4x4. This is not good for their business!!!!!!!!. I have never been to this site either.

You really need to look at it from the website owners view point as well.
Because you have ordered the other designs for the 4x4 hoop does not mean that this is the only hoop size you have.
There are a lot of people out there that will try almost anything to get something for nothing.You could be one of them, and I am not saying you are, but
the designer does not know you, therefore can't depend on you to delete the wrong sized design.
This is not a small mistake in the eyes of the designer. If everyone did this, and the customer decides to keep the wrong design, or, worse still, give it away (which is illegal),then the designer stands to lose a lot of money.

As far as resizing the design is concerned, you have nothing to lose to try it out on some scrap fabric.The worse thing that could happen is that the satin stitch outline is not quite as wide as the original.

My Brother dealer does stitchouts for some customers in her big hoop. Do you know of someone who could stitch this on their bigger hoop for the special little boy? (don't have to share the des)

I'm sure there must be an elephant applique freebee somewhere...maybe if you do an ISO (in search of) in a seperate message here. Surely someone may be able to come up with something!

I'd try re-sizing it so you can use it, as Ricky said, and test it first. I really understand Ricky's position as a site owner, because people are just not nice any more, and think they should get everything for nothing. But, if it were my site and I saw what you ordered, and you explained it to me nicely, I'd just have given you the 4x4. Size difference: I can understand not wanting people to resize some designs, because large & small are digitized differently, and it may not come out well. But after they wouldn't give you the correct size, I don't think they should be so heavy handed as to say you 'can't' resize it. Maybe say it's unadvisable, but not forbid it. Actually, I'm sorry, but how would they know? Just do it. I am a staunch upholder of copyright, but I am also a believer in common sense, and in this case common sense wins. Some people seem to want control of everything to do with their designs including the colors even when you purchase them. I cheerfully ignore that kind of control-freakiness. I'm using the thread I have, not going out to purchase charcoal-grey-green because you specify that in your design. And if it needs to be made smaller or larger for the space it's going in, the size will be changed. And I remove all those tags on my mattresses that say "can't be removed under penalty of law", too. So resize it, see how it works. And be more careful next time. I like Embroidery Library, too, for that reason. I can't get a design larger than my hoop size, it tells me. I know how easy it can be to click on the wrong thing. Hope you get it solved, of course the child would be stubborn about the elephant being the only thing he wants, hee hee hee. Well, sometimes life's not fair, and you get an alligator. Hugs, Marji

thats why I like planet applique.. you get all the sizes for one price.. I may need them bigger sizes I hope one day lol..

Katulle has posted 7 elephants on this site. Perhaps one of them will work for you? They are all applique as well.

AnnTheGran had 28 different elephants on her freebie site at one time. I don't know if they are all still there, but it might be worth having a look.

I was just closing some tabs after my computer crashed and recovered too many days worth. Here sits an applique elephant freebie. So if you are interested, try this one.

Oh my goodness I emailed them again and ask if they would consider sending me the other design for 4x4 and goodness they just said sure and sent it even though it was my fault. Now how fair is that. I just had to let all you wonderful people know how they treated me.
