I'm not saying that people don't do it, and there is a way around it, it's getting a license from Disney(to the tune of mucho $$) to sell.

Thank you, Cari, for going to the trouble to post this. But it will make no difference to some people until they have to pay a huge fine and lose their expensive machine in a lawsuit by Brother. As I posted before, Mickey Mouse, etal are not that important to me that I would take any chances...I have too much invested. Those selling illegally are lucky-until they get caught. You can't fight all the lawyers that Brother Corp. has on retainers!

Yes, I bought some designs last year at an event by a specific embroidery person - they used the mylar. I did a wall hanging using those designs (sea shells), and it turned out really well. It was a gift for a friend who had recently bought a beach house. Thought I had a picture of it finished, but I just have it pieced and not yet pressed or sandwiched, but the designs were geat - but you cannot see the mylar in the picture, although the shells shimmer when seen in person because of the mylar underlay.

Mouse, can you explain a bit what is this the myler under....I never went to Mid atlantic quilt festival....lucky you....
Did you use your Befnina or which machine ??? ... I wish you could post...it sounds interesting

Yes...but...LOL....at the very top of that page you copied, they define "image" as the embroidery file itself...so you can't share, trade, sell, etc...the embroidery file. I think the confusion is coming in because we think of "image" as the stitched out design, but by their own definition, it is the file that stitches the design out.

sJens....they are fantastic...!!!

Using Mylar is just like using a stablizer on top of your fabric. The design needs to be less dense so the Mylar shines through. There is nothing hard about using it.

It must be a good day, because I just learned something new. Thanks for opening my eyes to a new technique!

I just bought a Janome 15000 from a lady who got sick and can't do stuff anymore. I haven't done anything on it yet, but she had so many brand new pkgs of software designs and humongous hoops and thread that I feel I stole it from her. She'd only had it a little over a year plus I got the warranty that comes with it. It is a huge machine. Has its own sewing cabinet too [ATTACH=CONFIG]571169[/ATTACH]

The 15000 is an amazing machine and you will love it. There are lots of YouTube videos, websites, FB pages, etc on line that will help you learn how to use it, if you are new to Janome machines. The manual is also an excellent source. It does beautiful embroidery.
Did you know the lady who had to sell? I can only hope that if I get to the stage that I am unable to use my wonderful machine, that someone who will appreciate it will get it.
Have fun.
