Would prefer no machine embroidery, if you don't mind.

Yes - I've been having the same trouble! Thought I was the only one. I get randomly kicked out. Very insulting - - lol. Also been having trouble w/ typing. The solution I found is to click on the icon in the left corner (switch editor to Source mode) and that seems to take care of it.

Hope that helps!

I cant figure out where you mean Jane...it doesn't give me an option to switch? I did go to settings and switched it to "basic editor"...wonder if that's the same thing?

Just checking in here, I'm working on the Jade group first so then I can relax and concentrate on this group. There's plenty of time so I' good.

Also I wanted to say that I ALWAYS wash my fabrics, not for shrinkage and bleeding so much but because of where it's been and how it's treated before we buy it. I have sewen for many years, quilts only in the past few and during my sewing time I have run into many fabric stores that I could not stay in more then 15 minutes because of the orders from the dyes and/or pesticides, they made me sick. This isn't just with fabrics stores either, its also the same with clothing stores. So EVERYTHING I buy made with fabric is washed before it goes beyond the washroom. No I don't have allergies per say, just the smell of whatever they use to keep the pests out or whatever is in the dyes, kick my butt.

With all this being said, if you can't smell any strange orders then I won't either so I'm good with that. If you don't wash, that's your choice and I'm good with it but for me I will always wash my fabrics as I buy them. And no I don't like ironing but it comes with the territory so I look at it as something I can't avoid. Now starching is another subject, maybe if it really needs to be done, I'll think about it.

i believe jclinganrey means the icon to the far left in the box you type your posts. Click "post quick reply" and you will see it on the left, looking something like this: A/A.

Thanks for making sense of what I said. You're right. It's in the reply box - icon on the left. My bad - - - -

Thank you, Jane!!! That worked like a charm. I'd been having trouble posting on here in IE for a long time but clicking that box has made everything "normal" again! Thanks!
