Sometime ago I signed up to newsletters from all the sites that I visited, you receive updates on what's new and you can try their freebees to see if you are happy with the design. I look forward to my newsletters to find new project designs. Lately I have moved onto making projects from scratch rather than to pretty up something. Anyway my point is to do your own research and you will be surprised what you find on your journey. hugs Heather

That's how I did it when I first started almost 10 years ago. My dealer gave me a few names of safe emb sites and I went from there. I agree with Karen, (O2kar) not all freebies are worth collecting. After awhile you develope your own taste in design and style. I get my news letters from the sites I trust and check out their new items. Hugs..Carol

I have been having a major cleanout of my freebee file, you know how it goes the ones you delete are what you are looking for next week. hugs
12165I agree. I googled myself and enjoyed checking out the digitizer's designs of so many sites this way. And I learned a lot. Like not all freebies are worth collecting and there are digitizers I like and those whose designs are good but not what I tend to use. I mentioned this once and and decided I would not mention it again. Others are not interested in doing it this way.

When I bought my embroidery machine ,it was part of the sell , sell , sell to be able to download freebees. I started a file called freebees, in no time it was filling up. The funny thing is I could never find anything I liked so started buying from sites. There are a couple that I stay away from, but I mostly am happy. Exploring sites is a lot of fun and most times you learn something new. cheers Heather

140717I am with you Heather, I don't look for embroidery designs but with the clipart sites I always make sure I am on the mailing list, this way I get a reminder to go back and have a look at the site.
