Did anyone receive a primer on copyrights and pirated designs and how to evaluate whether designs might be pirated WHEN YOU BOUGHT YOUR MACHINE??? Was there...
I think most of us were lucky to get a manual that we could understand. I bought my first machine from Wal-Mart, and my second from a dealer. I don't think...
Back then the answer would probably have been no. Only recently are we really learning how important copyrights are and how easy it is to get in trouble by...
I was never supplied any information from dealers nor anyone else. All of it I have had to learn through trial and error. I think all of us need to have as...
I did not receive any primer when I bought my machine. I did not even know there was an issue until 6 months later! I'd like to see machine companies getting...

Why is it important to know who the moderators are? (And no, I'm not one of them) Benjamin Franklin used a pen name. As Richard Saunders, Franklin was given...
JMHO, but I tend to feel that taking the lead from the large manufacturers, rather than to educate these same manufactures to consumer needs could easily be a...

I understand that you can’t buy a cd or card and copy the designs and re-sell them, but what about re-selling an original. I happened to have 2 original...
i have heard of the renting out of designs before and i would not think it legal. now as for the using certain color threads---some people think this is a must...
