Portable Loyalty

When I first heard the term "Portable Loyalty" I thought that it did not refer to me. I am a loyal client. I buy where I am treated well. That goes for all of my purchases. A good example is the AlphabetXpress available here at AnnTheGran.com . I always check out new font/words programs because...

Re: PE700 Embroidery Machine

Embroidery Magazines

Many embroiderers enjoy reading magazines on line. The latest thing is to put them there for your convenience and a great price - free.

Re: Untidy stitching on back of embroidery

You have really had a time with that one! We all hope things are going better. I used to work on a PC Help desk. One thing I learned was that not all problems were resolvable. Sometimes we would find Microsoft saying "you may get unexpected results." That was their way of saying - we don't...
