Findings on Imagine with Gypsy

ok seems to be working fine.  When designing on your Gypsy remember that what you design to be at the top of the gypsy is actually going to be on your far right of the Imagine...this is important to remember if your patterned paper needs to be turned a certain way!

GYPSY NOW WORKS WITH IMAGINE!!!!!!!!!!!

OMG I am so excited......my Gypsy now can send cut files to my Imagine!  No way to color them in but just happy I can use my Gypsy to send the files to my Imagine

If you have an Imagine and a Gypsy get over there right away and do those updates!!!!!!!!!!!!

Yippee......I'm going to go play!
