Helpful PDF files added...

For about a month I've been adding 2 new PDF files for each new set that I make.

The first PDF file is for those that print out a page and add it to a reference binder for all of their designs. This PDF file is a little "prettier" and can be shown to customers. It includes the name of the design set, pictures of designs included and sometimes examples [like shown in picture below].

The second PDF file is for those that need to know the design details for each set. This PDF file is more for you, not your customers. It includes the name of the design set, pictures of designs, stitch count, # of colors, height and width for each design [like shown in picture below].

Okay, I already know what some of you are thinking!! :) Yes, at some point I do plan to go back and make these PDF files for all of my sets, but it will be a very time consuming project that I won't be undertaking in the near future ~ I'm so very sorry. I appreciate your understanding.

I would LOVE to hear what you think ~ leave a comment!

Have a great afternoon!

I think these new font sets will help with a lot of different projects! They are small, simple, look hand stitched and can be used in so many ways ~ along the edge of a satin trimmed blankie, above or below a small design on a bib, burp cloth or onesie, to stitch small phrases on greeting cards ~ the possibilities are endless. I've made 2 sets so far, 1/2" and 1", but will make some larger sizes as well. All the details are below.
