I'm probably the last quilter here to realize this, but did you know that when you misspell a word (underlined in red), you can right click your mouse and it will show you how to correct it? There is also an option to add the word you typed (names, brands, etc) to your dictionary.

That was my happy accident for the day!

Hooray. As someone who can't help but be bothered by poor spelling, I look forward to some relief!

I figure I can add my name to my dictionary (Tonnie) and not get spell checked anymore.

You can also "Translate" which is really handy on some sites.

The only problem is sound alike words when the dictionary is too stupid to know both of them.

Is there some magic spell or fairy dust that'll help with free motion quilting?
