Wow and wow, they look real.  You're certainly not a novice, Elvistoo still needs a mistress to create like that.  Beautifully done.

Well its not too professional but I mean to remedy that. At the moment there is a small cut piece of magnetic sticky tape stuff on his underside ... its not very strong and clunky!

I hope to attach a couple of teeny tiny but strong magnets with hot glue for a better finish.

Then I hope to wind a lil band of whatever metal that magnets stick to (????? No idea what that will be) around the stems of a plant and display them for sale like that .... as well as in cases.

@Iminei  steel or iron wire. Here I would go to the hardware store and buy binding wire.

You and Elvistoo are so clever. Where did you find the butterflies?
Hey Bill! Read the manual!  Hehehe.

Im trying to buy some teeny tiny superstrong magnets ...
I was really hoping that one of our lovely techy/engineering/physicy TSP peeps could steer me to the right place

This is what I need .....

Neodynium rare earth magnets
6mm x 2mm and 10mm x 4mm

Why cant I just google them I hear you ask ???

There are so many suppliers with so many different prices for differing quantities and I hate to think Im being stiffed ..
Metaphorically speaking ... if you know what I mean


Can anyone help me???

sigh. OK, @Iminei , AKA Miss Smarty Pants. I had re-read the entire thread before I asked.  >< I know that you used Elvistoo to machine embroider them in all their glory. But no where do you divulge the source of the digitized design. Are they built in on E2? Did you draw them yourself and digitize them? Or did you do my thing and buy those designs from somewhere? Hum? Hum? and Hum??? And if bought, from whom?

I have a fondness for various bugs, including the flutterbys. I have a few PES designs but am always on the lookout for more.
