Ok I think I finally have to admit that I am a design hoarder. Every day I download more designs but I haven't used 99.9% of them. My kids keep asking me why I keep collecting and I tell them I just can't help myself ;)

I have been trying to be more choosy lately but I have found in the past when I didn't think I would use it that later I wish I had so keep saving.

I also have loads of designs but I have stopped looking at the Freebie section here as my time is limited, for looking and sewing. I dont think my family are aware of the designs I have... Happy sewing. There is a huge bonus to loads of embroidery designs - they dont take up space like the fabric, threads, and so one...

Boy that is the truth! :)

We are all in the same boat, Beautifull designs but not enough time to sew them all outbut we will have just the right design when we need it, if we can find it. G

Don't feel bad because your not the only one. Everyone I see I just have to have and I will never use most of them. But I've got them just incase.

At least it's not bad for your health. My hubby even says now 'have you got your dailys?'

That's too cute :)

I'm right there with you, though I've become much more selective, cause I'mn filling up my harddrive

At least we don't have to dust them & they don't take up a lot of room! Thankfully!

Wish all the things to dust were like this.

same here.. but some are just so beautiful.. I just might need that one.. so into the files it goes .. it is such a fun hobby.. I love retirement..

I'm right there with you all!!! One day I will use them. I have become alittle more selective in the last 6 months.

Morning all you squirrels....I love collecting designs. Just on for my morning's boost:))

oh good i was getting lovely wayyyyyyyy over here in my bush hugs hoarder carolyn

Wait - I thought I had a collection... You tell me now I'm hoarding. Unfortunately I'm also a hoarder of fabric, quilt books, scrap booking supplies, Christmas Santas,... It just goes on and on...

I am there with you. I can hardly sleep if I haven't downloaded the daily designs. I have gotten up nin the middle of the night to download. But I am so glad to have them when I need a quick gift like the blanket I just finished for a birthday gift I need tomorrow. My husband likes this addiction because the cost is right.

we are all hoarders. and we love each other!!

I'm definately a member of the HOARDER club. I've actually decided to stick to just a few of my favorited sites. There are so many great sites with wonderful designs but I spend much too much time d/l and not doing what I love to do the most and that's sew/embroider. I'm doing my best to stay sober....LOL (PS. I don't drink)

Gosh I thought I am the only one. I got company. Good to know that. Now I dont feel too bad when I collect designs.lol
BIG HUG ----Brenda

I can relate!!!! :D

Welcome to the Design Hoarders Club. You keep collecting them because just one day you might need/use that particular design.

That is so true :)

It is addictive! When I bought my embroidery machine the store owner said to my husband take a good look at your wife so you can remember what she looks like, because you won't be seeing her much!! ;>)
You will use them; you will be surprised. I just used a dozen designs I had saved in the spring and I am still just a beginner!
