I have Design Shop Pro+. I remember from the class (so long ago now) that when creating your own applique, you can stop at the outline stitch and use that to cut out the applique. There are various outline alphabets that came with the software, does anyone use these for applique or do I have to digitize the letters myself? Thanks. David Sklar Ballyhoo!
