AKDesigns Weekly Update

Hello Everyone!

Welcome to all of our new followers and Hello to everyone else!

Updates over the past week

Price Reduction!! You may have noticed that the last few sets that I added to the website were at a lower price. Well, that's because I've been in the planning stages of lowering prices on almost all of my sets. This is in large part due to feedback received from the Shopzilla/Bizrate survey that's completed by my customers after their purchase. If you've purchased anything from my website this year, you had an opportunity to complete the survey; it just pops up after your purchase. If you didn't complete it previously, please take a minute to complete it with your next purchase. Thanks to all that did participate; your feedback does count!! :)

Free Hoop Basting Templates

I've just posted the FREE April designs on my Yahoo Group and on my website. I'm offering all of the completed Hoop Basting Templates in one zip file. Some might wonder "What's the purpose of a hoop basting template?". The purpose is to keep your items secure and in place without moving while stitching. These templates will work on hooped and un-hooped items. The templates are just simple basting stitches that stitch around the outside edge of the hoop before the design stitches. This is a great tool because whether your item is hooped or not, it ensures that your item and stabilizer are secure and in place before stitching your design.

April 2010 Free Design Set - #515 Hoop Basting Templates

The zip file includes Hoop Templates in all of our available formats - ART, DST, EXP, HUS, JEF, PES, SEW, SHV, VIP, XXX in the following sizes:

• 80mm x 120mm = 3.1” x 4.7” approx. hoop sewing field size
• 100mm x 100mm = 3.9” x 3.9” approx. hoop sewing field size
• 110mm x 126mm = 4.3” x 4.9” approx. hoop sewing field size
• 115mm X 170 mm – 4.5” x 6.6” approx. hoop sewing field size
• 130mm x 180mm = 5.1" x 7" approx. hoop sewing field size
• 140mm x 200mm = 5.5” x 7.8” approx. hoop sewing field size
• 160mm x 260mm = 6.2" x 10.2" approx. hoop sewing field size
• 200mm x 200mm = 7.8” x 7.8” approx. hoop sewing field size
• 240mm x 240mm = 9.4” x 9.4” approx. hoop sewing field size

I've created many additional sizes, but they are still in the testing phase. If you need a size that isn't included in the list above, please send me an e-mail and I'll create one for you.

NOTE: If you're testing a hoop template for me and haven't had a chance to test it yet, please do so as soon as possible so that I can make them available to others. I will be sending out reminder e-mails in the next few days. Thank you so much for you help!
