Last Day To Finish...
(Christmas Eve Is Tomorrow!)



Elvis has left the building...

And we have left Chicago!

The nutcracker was terrific. And our grand niece was certainly the star of the show as a gingersnap.  :-)

Now Holly and I are on our way homeward bound.  It's about 16 hours of driving time and I think we will finish the J.D.Robb audio book we started on the way up
("New York To Dallas") and take in another one on the way home.

Windows 7 is behaving itself for Holly and seems pretty snappy. 
She had a few hours to run Win-7 last night and it worked just fine. Then again, she does have a pretty fast computer so that helps speed it up a bit.

What's a "Surprise Set"? 


We normally release a new design set on Monday, Wednesday, and two sets on Friday.  Sometimes, Holly and the TEAM have worked far enough ahead that she has extra sets ready to go out and rather than waiting, she has them put up now as extra design sets above and beyond the normal 4 sets per week.  Holly calls those extras "Surprise Sets".


Members of the ATW club pay either $9.95 a month OR can choose our money-saving quarterly plan at $19.95 every 3 months. They get at least 17 new SETS of designs every month PLUS they can download as much as they want from our archives of more than 20,000 more designs!

Digitizing Story #13...


"Getting Paid For Your Work"

A couple days ago someone emailed and asked if Holly covers the business aspects of digitizing in her classes. The answer is yes she has covered that before and we can direct a person to recordings we have made of those classes and answer new questions too.

Then yesterday a member posted in our forum "How do I get a person to pay me for my embroidery work?"  It seems the person has run up a $700 bill and only paid $200 of it.  Several folks have advice for her in our forum.

Business is a little different from hobby... it adds a whole new set of challenges.  If you want help, join us! 



Do You
Want To
Digitize?


Holly can help you.  Get a trial copy of Generations from us that will run for 30 days before you buy!  Details on our website. 

You can learn to digitize in 30 days with Holly's help.  Holly has taught HUNDREDS of people to digitize in her 8 hour "Digitize In A Day" classes.  She can teach you to digitize in 30 days of online lessons!

Start with a trial copy.  If you decide to keep Generations you can deduct the cost of the trial program off the cost of Generations.,  Then you can either trade in one of the other programs you already bought (for up to a $1,000 credit!), or you can buy Generations from us with a "no-interest / no-credit-check" payment plan!

Heck, you can even just buy Generations without a trade-in or the free financing plan and you'll get a really nice gift (a $470 value) from us for doing that instead.  

Any way you choose, buy Generations from us and you will have the ONLY digitizing program you will ever need and a GREAT teacher who will help you learn to USE your software.
