[amayausers] Re: Sweater help

Thanks for the tips Ed. I really have no desire to do digitizing as I have a
couple reliable companies here in MN that do great work. Unfortunately I
have no money in my pocket to burn the proverbial hole so I guess I'll stick
with just plain old DS for now.
I'll let you know how things turn out with my test sewout otherwise Jeff is
on deck to do a light fill if need be but my WI is telling me I can do this.
