Wanting to do something different today but did not want to buy a new design. So I went to secrets of embroidery and pulled up my history. Found fsl I had forgotten I even had,re downloaded and am now embroidering fsl butterflies. Try it,go into your accounts and pull up something you have but have never embroidered. You may surprise yourself and it's FREE!

Yea! Great idea. Last night I did the same thing at emblibrary.WOW! I had not realized how much I had there. It is amazing how much we accumulate and then forget about. LOL!

Sometimes designs get lost when they're in several parts and I've found this a good way to remind yourself of the designs you have somewhere. Stitchdelight is good for this. Jan

Yeah! I have started a list of packages/projects an where I purchased them from for 2 reasons. 1) so I can be reminded of what I already have and 2) inspiration! what do I think I can complete today - since finishing projects is a problem for me at times. That is why I love FSL. Live Laugh Download Stitch!

I am to big a hoarder of designs not to immediately download. Have to admit that it is good to run through history as I have so many beautiful designs I can not remember them all. What I have from Secrets is a voucher to spend due to all my spending. Can not wait for the correct set to appear to use it.

This happened to me when Dainty Stutches changed to stitch delight ,I had bout 11 sets ,I had not downloaded all of them .Aparently an email was sent oput to say , you need to back up any designs you had in your order history , but I never received it , so when I went in to download some , they were gone,I must say they did offer to give me the designs if I could suply the design numbers , but I could not , only the receipt,whick did not have the numbers on .so its a good idea to print a copy of your designs in future.

I have so many now that even tho organized its still hard to remember where to look sometimes so now I try to make a project folder and put all the files there for a current project so I don't have to find it all over again. Having iconizer helps too. Having an account at secrets was great when I
lost files-easy to figure what I was missing.

I did this with Emb Library once and was astonished at how many were there that I couldn't remember.

I usually buy more than one at a time, do the main design then the others just sit waiting for me to come back.

Me too. Was really surprised the other day. I added a design to my basket and a warning came up that I've already purchased the set which included this design. It was new to me as normally it would recognize duplications of sets and singles but never a single within a set.

a design within a set. (I really don't like it when my messages get cut off)

this has happened to me and I keep wondering how many more I have out there.

i have forgtten about too, i do have some ladybugs never used them and do not remember where they are tomorrow I have to pay a visit to Secrets of Emb. and DL again. Thanks

That's a good one Bev. If I were to embroider all the designs I have from emblibrary I would never need to buy another design. Kinda like fabric, you see that color or design that you just have to have cause some day you may need it.I haven't forgotten any designs out there, I just need the time to do them all. Have fun with the butterflies. Hugs..Carol

I appreciate the sites that will let you go back and download again. Some won't.
