Things You
Should Know Software

design was digitized in. Designs are available in the following
formats:

is compatible with your hoop.

How you get the designs . . .
Embroidery design sets will be e-mailed to you within 48 hours of
purchase, Monday through Friday.
Important: If
you have not received your designs within 48 hours that means that my email
probably ended up in your spam filter, is blocked by your ISP or your
mailbox was full. This last one happens a lot with free mail accounts.
So please email me if you don't receive your designs within 48 hours.
If you need the designs on a CD please email me to
make arrangements. CDs are shipped to U.S. addresses only.
Delivery of international orders by email only.

Terms of Use and Copyright Notice . . .
1. You may
stitch out my designs on any number of articles to give as gifts.
2. You may
use my designs on up to 200 items for sale at craft fairs, bazaars or your
own website only if you include a link to my website from yours or my
website address on the item’s hang tag. If you plan to sell items in shops
or boutiques, please
contact me for licensing information.
3. Free
sample designs are for your personal use only. They are provided for you to
test the quality of my designs and ensure they will work on your machine.
Therefore, the free sample designs may not be used on any item for sale
without first obtaining licensing rights.
4. All
designs, instructions and graphics on my website are copyright protected.
You may not give away, sell, trade or include in a compilation
collection any of the designs, instructions or graphics obtained from or

1.
Project Linus: I have digitized a
very special set of designs for Project Linus and a portion of the sales
proceeds goes directly to a Project Linus group to help with the costs of
materials and supplies. Although your Project Linus group has received the
designs free of charge, all copyrights still apply and the designs may not
be given away, sold or used on items for sale. If another Project Linus
group would like to use the designs please have the project coordinator
contact me and they
too will receive the designs free of charge. So please make as many Project
Linus quilts as you’d like and use the designs on whatever personal projects
or gifts you choose but the designs may not be used on items for sale under
any circumstances without first obtaining written permission from the
Embroidery Design Shop.
Refund and Replacement Policy . . .
Refunds: Since the designs are digital goods there are no
refunds. If you are concerned about the quality of the design, please
try a free sample designs before making your purchase.
Replacements: If for some reason your design files are
corrupted during transmission, I will replace the files during the first two
weeks after purchase free of charge.
If your computer crashes and the files are lost,
I will replace the files during the first 6 months from date of purchase for
a $5.00 fee per set. I know it takes time to make back up copies and we would all rather spend
that time sewing but I urge you to make back up copies of all your designs.
When a new design set is released I normally have some kind of special
discount for a limited time (usually about 2 weeks). Sometimes I offer
a discount on the price and other times it's a 2 for 1 special.
To avoid re-programming my paypal buttons, as of May 1, 2004, all
discounts and special offers will only be available to email list members.
Please email me if you
have any
questions.
