Yes, and the software can get rather expensive! She has no contact information on that site - I would love to know what settings she used for the stitches - but I wonder if learning to digitise them was part of the BOM she did at the dealer's or if the dealer gave out the designs to those in the class.
There are also issues with the hoop size, a 7" block has to be multi-hooped unless you own an 8 series with a Jumbo hoop. Even the megahoop isn't wide enough for much beyond a 6" block (luckily what my Sylvia blocks are!), and the large oval cuts the corners off too much to get a full 6" block into it.
I'd be very surprised if she could sell the designs, certainly I haven't seen them anywhere.
