Yes you can and it's a fairly simple process. Instead, however, I would recommend going to this site and it is magnificent at creating calendars with various that you may want or need: http://www.calendarlabs.com/printable-calendar.php?template=tL1m A W Radle

I have the instructions that came with my machine. If you want to give me an address I can copy them for you!

It looks very possible with some slight modifications. I like to make custom out of store bought items and it's a project that I would take on. Best of luck!

Yes and no. There is a special foot that you can buy and that can do ruffles with the machine or you can use a basting stitch and manual make ruffles by pulling the thread with your hand after you baste it. YouTube a video for more instructions

Yes it is possible to make it the way you want it. I have one designed that you can look at if you would like to send us a message I can show you a picture of it.

No. The software that comes with this machine requires a Windows operating system. Furthermore - in order to get this machine to do any type of path routering (other than a simple back and forth on the x-axis) you would have to purchase third party software to design your images and lay out the routes for cutting. If I had it to do over again ... I would buy a different CNC machine.

Yes the machine is capable of doing all you can draw in the computer. It deals with images treated specifically to be carved. So you can design anything and it will carve them and a way like a dot matrix printer. I used only one type of bits for wood and did many projects some of them calligraphy. the result was always more than expected. In the other hand, it remains very slow, noisy and excel as a hobby only.

This machine is not for this purpose. I can recommend a "stand-alone" machine. It is Janome E for embroidery. It is the best stand-alone out there and it will do a lot of what you want to do. One of the reasons I like and insist on a stand-alone, is I can sew on my machine and have my Embroidery machine do an entirely different project - at the same time. If you get a sewing and embroidery combo....it ties you up doing one project at a time. I HIGHLY recommend that you get a separate machine just for embroidery.

We can do it either way, however, if you design your own stamp, please convert the fonts and send us a vector .pdf. Otherwise, we would prefer for you to send your logo and we set up the stamp. You can request a proof when you email us after you place your order. Let me know if you have any other questions. Thanks so much. Lisa

Yes. I used parts to make the shape that I wanted. The top is in sections probably depending on width. Very easy to work with.

Yes, if you design something on your computer, you can upload it to the machine and it has several built-in fonts where you can embroider names or initials.

No. You can modify Cricut's designs to a certain extent, but if you want to do your own designing, you should get a Silhouette Cameo machine, which comes with an amazingly powerful design software, plus the ability to purchase -- one at a time, if you like, instead of a whole cartridge -- beautiful, complex, sophisticated designs to cut as well. Once you get the hang of importing your own designs into the Silhouette, it's easy and great fun. You can download the software for free and check it out. The Cricut DesignStudio has been made obsolete by Cricut's online Cricut CraftRoom program, which is kind of a cross between an online, cloud-based cartridge collection, a Gypsy, and this DesignStudio, and it's free. Download it from the Cricut site and enjoy playing around with every design they have ever made, though you have to own and register the cartridge, or purchase the online-only designs, in order to be able to actually cut them. To actually use the program to cut with, you will have to attach your Cricut to your computer and put it through the "update" process, always a nail-biter, but my Cricut was purchased used and is probably five years old, and it updated with no problem. If you have a Gypsy you KNOW what a massive improvement this Craft Room program represents. I am not sure this DesignStudio program is being supported anymore.

Yes. There is a monogram mode. You can choose from many designs and also make your own. It's very versatile

Yes but you will have to use the System Development Kit (SDK) to write your own software. I could not find existing software.
