My understanding of this is that you can buy the design, and use it, and even sell the items you've created with your purchased design...the problem is when you trade or sell or share the design you bought. The trademark is on the machine design, not what you do with it.
That's my understanding also. You can use Disney designs until the cows come home for your personal use, give as gifts, but you CANNOT sell any. And I believe Ibroidery is Brother's designs site. Seems to me if you can buy Disney designs from them, you can stitch them out no matter what machine you have. My machine came with them, but have no grandchildren so never use them. The few times I have used them, I stopped the stitching before it stitched out the word Disney.

[QUOTE=mouse;7798193]I got some designs at Mid
I've used mylar and also Angelica, its kind of like mylar, it has a sheen. You can buy it in sheets or what's called Angelica hair, which can be shaped and ironed. It really enhances anything you make. I digitized a picture frame and on one side it had a snowman so I used the white hair that has a pearl essence effect, so pretty and really looked like snow.

The bigger the frame area is the more expensive the machine will be. So I'd decide what my budget is first and then buy a machine that fits your budget. I'd try to get a machine that will stitch at least a 6x6in area if possible. Also, many machines may have a 6x6 frame, but may only stitchout 5.71in actually stitching area. The ones that use an USB port are easier, but I use my machine that has a floppy disk just as much. I find my Babylock a lot easier to use than my Bernina. I bought a Bernina 580 last year and had to trade it in and got a Babylock instead. So be sure to test drive a machine before you buy it...don't just let the sales person do all the stitching.

Those are great, sJens! The mylar makes for a cool effect!

Reply to Mouse, post #3590 - Yes, I've done a few designs with mylar. Just like doing applique. Not difficult. I'd send pictures, but I've tried before and for some reason I can't post any.

Well, ain't that the pits that you have to register your machine when you join Ibroidery. Disney has their clutches in things in all sorts of ways, don't they? Bah, humbug.
