Many years ago my husband's job took us to Ootacamund in south India. A particular treat was when a little man from Kashmir would knock on the door with an enormous bundle on his back with a wonderful array of embroidered shawls, skirts and tablewear, even carved wooden tables and lamps. Many of these treasures came back to Canada with us. I had promised myself not to buy any more designs until I used more of what I already have, but that went out the window when I saw your Kashmir set. I will love stitching them now!

I do appreciate it. Knowing others have experienced it/are experiencing it and have not only survived but thrived is much encouragement. I just have to work harder to acquire the knowledge and experience that will make things easier. Your encouragement is very welcome, L Thank you, Sadia. I do appreciate it.

If it is any consolation, the lack of support based upon $$ is expected in every industry. Support groups for machine embroidery help fill in that void and I would suggest googling for Yahoo embroidery groups. There are quite a lot of them and I'm sure your friend will find one particular to her machine and software. As to your question, it is what it is and you are not alone in being cynical. I understand completely. Hopefully, my blog can help answer some of your questions. You can also email me any time and I will do my best to find the answer.

It seems like almost any question I ask the brand rep gets an answer of, "Oh, to fix that problem you must buy this new XXXXX" (minimum cost $50), and if you don't want to buy, they don't talk to you any more. This worry that I am becoming a cynic crystalized this week when a friend was complaining about her digitizing software getting stuck somehow (she has an entirely different brand of machine/software than I do, by the way) where it would not allow her to open various formats of designs. She has been on the telephone and email with her brand support line for over a month (not continuously) and was told by multiple people that she needed the next $150 upgrade to take care of the problem. After listening to her describe the problem for about 10 minutes, it seemed obvious to me that the software had become corrupted and needed to be uninstalled then reinstalled. 20 minutes later her problem was fixed, and I only "charged" her a cup of coffee. Is it the times we live in or just an unfortunate coincidence that I keep running into support people who seem to be on commission and aren't interested in support?
