Thanks, I just ordered this. I'm going to start doing portraits this yr. For Christmas I'm going to try and do my son's dog who died with a yr after saving the family's lives from a fire. I just did my first digitized design. Its a take on the Happy Daisy quilt, I changed the design so that it looks more like a daisy and it stitches out great. A few more tweeks and it'll be perfect. I'm so proud of this, I don't want to limit myself to others designs, especially when I paid so much for my software that allows me to do more. It is a great thread price so even if I only use it to test designs on, you can't beat the price. I know Floriani has a skin color set and it's pricey.
