Brook one thing you should do and I have found its very helpfull. and that is get a small notebook. Everytime i do a design I put it in that notebook. I right down the colors I used names and number if possible. I also put what design I did and what I put it on and who it was for. Also if you move your maching from center to say 125 top or 250 down. That way if you ever have to do another one just like it you have all the information. The one time I didn't write it down I had a hard time making the design the correct size. I had done a retreat towel for someone and she ended up wanting a hand towel also. Same with enlarging the design. Have a lot of fun I have with mine.
