I assume you have SCAL???
Just save the file, then open SCAL and then open the file...

it wont' do anything. I click on 'open project', double click on it, and it won't transfer over? What am I doing wrong??

Folks remember that there are two versions of SCAL. Those of us who only have SCAL1 cannot open files created in the new version SCAL2.

Please be considerate when you post SCAL files to say which version you are posting since CraftEdge didn't change the extension when they upgraded SCAL.

There is an antique looking svg here. http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Sewing_icon.svg This one should work as-is
There is a sewing machine in this font, but you might want to simplify it (lots of weeding otherwise). http://www.fontspace.com/lechefrene/lcr-lesleys-crafts
