[amayausers] Re: Font for Fleece

Janel,
I think so far I've been lucky with both the potential issues that could be 
created by sewing twice. I imagine my luck is running out so I'm anxious to 
try the DS upgrade with the double zigzag! I've got lots of scrap fleece so 
I'll keep practicing until I can master the right combo!!!
