Great site. Yes they have great sales also. Don't forget to use the "wish list". From time to time they offer sales on things you have in your wish list. I have many designs from them. Only had trouble with one FSL. probably more my fault than the design since I was only using 1 layer of Heavy solvy.

I did I fell in love with a design but it was too much for me, so I put it in wish list and waited for almost a year, i bough it only 1.00 and the regular price was 20.00 dollars of course i ended up spending more than 20.00 dollars in total. LOL

I love the answers to this question!!! Sounds like each of us are guilty of spending too much money at Embroidery Library. You will save a ton if you sign up for their sales and make use of their sales. Be patient and you will save yourself a lot of money!! Good luck! Laura*

They are my favourite site next to Cute. I've never had a poor design from them but I do use extra stablizer and have often enlarged the design slightly. As others have said they are very dense but beautiful. Their sales are great value too. I think this Christmas will be an exclusive "Embroidery Library" embroidered gift experience for my family.

Yes, I've spent far too much money there! The designs are wonderful but they are very, very dense. I normally reduce the density about 5%, otherwise they may look "bulletproof". At least they do to me. Sometimes even 5% isn't enough and although I know I have it well stabilized, I have even had to hand turn the needle up and down to get it through the previous colors and the fabric. Having said all that, their designs are absolutely fabulous and varied and they have many sales and freebies and great tutorials. Sign up with them and you won't regret it.

Embroidery Library designs are really nice. I've bought a lot of their designs. Every once in a while, they will have a VIP give away set of designs, that goes with a big sale that they have. Suezz gave you an excellent idea... sign up for their newsletters... you'll be glad you did.

I have bought many designs from them. They have always sewn out and looked beautiful. Yes, they have sales often. Examples would be 50% off, or $5 or $10 dollars of total purchase, $1 sales, etc. Also, they have a couple of designs for free every month. Be sure to sign up for there e-mail. Sue *4U

Boy do they have sales. $1.00 or $1.15 for many of the new ones. Get on their mailing list now. You can also look at the tabs at the top for New, Sale, and Free.

I just love their things and have spent quite a bit there and never been disappointed. Their designs are quite dense (they sew out beautifully) so you need to make sure you have stabilized well. I also love the fact that they cater for all size hoops. They are also extremely helpful if you have a problem. Sarah.

Everybody loves EL and so do I...
all the designs are great and stitch out wonderful. I also learned something new, I had no idea that Urban Threads was a sister site. I love their designs also. More contemporary stuff, like for teenagers. but some great designs too. I've purchased from them and their designs stitch out very well. free stuff also when you sign up for their newsletter.

I buy there almost every week. Be sure you sign up for the 'VIP & Happy Hour' mail list. Scroll down to the link on the left of screen. If you make a purchase during the month you get an email for a weekend of super sale codes to use to buy any designs you want, usually for $1 each. You can save tons of money if you watch their newsletter emails and VIP emails.

Any time you find a design you really like just add it to your wish list and wait for a VIP weekend to buy it. Almost every week there are several new designs added that are $1 each too.

Happy shopping. That is my favorite embroidery site.

I love their site. Their work tends to be more artistic than other sites. There is a higher stitch count than with some of your designs. But they stitch out beautifully and perfectly every time. I love their work, and have purchased several designs. I do not regret any of them.
Click on the "Sale" tab a the top of the screen and you can check out their current sales. I've seen multiple times where their designs were $1 each; a very worthwhile price. I hope you enjoy!! I'm just finishing up two projects with their designs. Beautiful stuff!!!

I forgot to add that once you buy from them, then the next month you get a private "happy hour" weekend to do some wild shopping. :)

And I wish they had a membership. I would be a member.

this is where I got hooked on embroidery designs. If your good to them, they will be good to you. They are the best designs I have found. They are from my home state and we love their wildlife the best. Some of the cuties have told you the benefits you can reap. You have to watch every chance you get.LOVE. Sometimes you can put what design or pack you want at a better price in your wishlist, wait and a good deal will come your way. Take a chance, its worth it. LOL

I order from there all of the time. expecially when they have sales for $1 designs

I have spent a fortune on that site! I order something almost every week and sometimes several things during the week. I love their sales! You can really save money if you watch for the sales. Their designs are rather dense but I have never had one that did not sew out just great. Deb and her staff are very nice people to deal with and go out of their way to help any way they can. If you slip up and re-order a design that you have already purchased before there is a note in red at the top of the order telling you that you have already purchased that design and list the order number that it was in. There is a continual list on their site of all your past orders and you can always go back and download it again if you can not find the design. They have monthly free designs and monthly discounted designs as well as weekly sales. They also email their regular customers with special sale items not available to all of the public. Some of their designs are rather expensive but if you can hold out for awhile, they usually go on sale at intervals. If I need something special for someone, I can usually find the perfect design! I have been doing business with them longer than any other site I belong to. I have had embroidery machines since the first home embroidery machine became available to the public at a half way decent price. I even wanted a commercial unit before they came out with the home machines but could not warrant paying that much for a machine to play with. I have 3 embroidey machines, a sewing machine and 2 sergers in my office/sewing room. Since my health got so bad, I do not use them like I did at one time but I do love to finish a design and feel proud Of what it looks like. My family loves to get the the items I do just playing on the machines and are always asking me to do things for them and their friends. I do not sew very much right now but I still have to buy the designs!!!!!!
You can not go wrong with the designs or the company!

Embroidery Library is my home away from home. I spend all my children's inheritance there. Every Tuesday night they start a new sale. Every Month they have a few freebies that last a whole month.
Check out their menu. Sign up for their newsletter,
to get specials. Also, you can get instructions on "how to". I suggest you sit down and nevigate the site. You may want to sign up for your birthday gift too. Their designs sew out great. I love them.
Have fun, and happy shopping. Rachel

There is a sale tab on their site which changes each week, plus once you purchase you will get sent happy hour weekend sales. I have more designs from them, and spent more there than I care to admit :)
