Be very careful, just because it is from a Russian site, does not make it legal. It is still a copy written design. Many Designs sold on the net through eBay and such sites are bootleg and are copy write infringements. Disney owns their designs and are sold only through their distributors, so if you see design cd's advertised as "4000 Disney designs for $29.00" ( or any other too-good-to-be-true price) you can guess they are more than likely bootleg, and illegal.
just don't want anyone to find themselves on the wrong side of the law.

"The whole point of the First Sale Doctrination is that once the copyright owner puts a copyrighted item into the stream of commerce by selling it, he has exhausted his exclusive statutory rights to control it's distribution."
Of course Disney and other manufacturers of licensed products don't want this ruling to be widely known to the public, but there it is. I've had this discussion several times at my LQS when someone over hears us talking about the sports themed items I make and sell.

For the or the bottom, I used Sulky 12-Inch by 11-Yard Tear-Easy Stabilizer Roll and on the top, I used Sulky Water Soluable stabilizer. I am pretty new at this embroidery stuff, but I am happy with the way these things came out. Thanks for looking!

coffeecozy,
I have the magnetic 5x7 hoop and it works wonderful! I own a Babylock Spirit and it worked well with the last baby quilts I did since they were sandwiched already. Works very well with towels and even with cotton. I only use it though for those fabrics that I don't want hoop burn and it pretty much works well for me with all types of fabric and NO HOOP BURN! Hope this helped!

I'm sorry, but this is not true. In 2006, the holding company that had just brought Singer out of yet another bankruptcy acquired VSM(who owned Viking and Pfaff) keeping it out of bankruptcy. So in a sense Singer did buy Viking. The machines for all three brands are made in Shanghai China. This is straight from the SVP website.

The boxes that both of my two Vikings came in along with the website say made in Sweeden. I'll trust that. If you look at what you wrote Singer did not buy out Viking, just the opposite. You said VSM (who already owned Viking) bought out Singer then Viking bought out Singer. YOu said that Singer bought out Viking. It doesn't really matter. The machines are all great and we buy more from over seas than we realize. We can try as much as possible to buy all American made but with so many countries being able to make parts cheaper not all American made products are 100% American made. I actually have/have had 4 machines total that are Viking and can't say a bad word about any of them. I also have a 25yr old Singer that is great but would be leary about buying one today because of their reputation.

I really love the 5x7 mag hoop for my Diamond Deluxe. I love it so much that when my first one came up missing, I paid the cost to buy another one. Not that much difference in cost over what you'd pay for a standard hoop.
