24 May 2013: Just my luck!!
A couple of days ago I purchased several designs from Embroidery Library. Today I received an email from them advertizing their 'Spend $10 and get $5 off at checkout' sale by using their voucher code. You can use the voucher three times, following which they will send an email with another code for further offers.
Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr. Still, musn't complain...lol

next month you can take advantage of happy hour and you don't even need to visit the Pub. They will email you with the latest offer and you can get twice as much. So stock up in your wish list and you will be ready to go!

Thank you. I have taken heed of the advice given by you good ladies here and started to fill up my wish list. Mind you, I may have to go back and cull a few as my wife restricts my pocket money!

115749Unfortunately Emb. Library doesn't have any designs on Cricket! Oh! well the Aussies are on their way to bring back "The Ashes"!!!!!!!!
(P.S. this is an inside joke about our Australian Cricket Team heading over to England to hopefully bring back the "Urn")
I've included a link all about the famous Urn! Love and blessings Chris

You are a little minx, you are!! I'll give you 10/10 for patriotism though....lol
234496Thank you all for your replies, all the good advice and the amusing comments. I do agree that Embroidery Library is excellent in respect of the facilities it offers on its website and the quality of the designs. Anyway, based upon the good advice received, I shall now go back and spend my pocket money.

11929Ouch. Like me i shop then dont read the pamplets cause sure as eggs its on sale the next day... But hey Dennis look what you can buy on sale . I say go for it ... Mabey see you there heheheee :)
42046Hi Dennis,
Don't ya just hate that? I used to always buy beautiful clothes outfits from a local store here in our Lake Macquarie Shopping Centre at full price and then within weeks they would have a sale. In the end I refused to buy anything from them and haven't since then, now how's that for restraint? I think this sort of thing happens to everyone. Love Chris
234496Sympathy ! Have also had this happen to me - only buy on their sales now. They also offer a percentage off everything in your wish list sometimes so a good idea to keep it full with designs that you like.
27028What a shame Dennis - they were obviously waiting for you to spend your money!!! LOL. Sarah.
255050So sorry Dennis. Designs I like with Embroidery Library I will put into the wish list. Sooner or later they will have some special and then it is time to pull them out to the cart to purchase. They have so many wonderful designs. Super good site.
109774I think you only get the happy hour sale if you made a purchase the month before. That's the way I get most of mine. Either half price or $1.00.
7854oh I hate that, when you just get this kind of things just after....
well I do hope you can enjoy the purchased designs, and perhaps you were in doubt of buying a few others, and you can do these now. have a great weekend :)
743283Just want to add my delight with EmbLib to the group. They really are nice to work with & their designs are well done! Those new watercolors are beautiful!! So now you can start adding to your wish list!!
35675They keep me coming back. I started writing down when I purchase anything online - amount, date and place. I've noticed that Embroidery Library gets quite a bit of my $$$. They always have a sale so I now put things I would like to purchase on the "wish list" and when a 50% off sale comes up. I then, know just what I'm going to spend it on. They have made me into a "Savy Shopper" I do love their many features of keeping track of what I purchase. Plus I can always go back and download as needed.
19439I too like Embroidery Library, love their wish list, also they alert you if you have already purchased a design before, and you can always go and re download any previous purchased designs .. all good :-)
20276Yikes! These sites are soooo good at enticing us back,aren"t they?

It appears that everyone, except me (Doh), had this Friday thing sussed. I looked at those watercolour designs and thought that they were very nice. I would be interested to know how they machine out.
2350You think this is something, well..... I had purchased many designs from one site at an average of $15 each then she began the $1 sales. YUP each of the designs I purchased were on that sale..... Yiiiiiiiigh

45070Sometimes I be like that :( I had the same thing when I got a few pieces of fabric online and than they went on sale for 30% off. I will count my blessings because the fabric was only $1.95 per yd and if I would have waited, they would have sold out. So now I can make me some summer tops in a hour sewing time...FIESTA ;D *2U

Now for the real teaser (also spoken in good taste lol) They have very nice sales every USA official holiday. This weekend is such a holiday...great deals to be had by all!
57675I know the feeling of paying full price only to have it go on sale next week. But on the bright side - I just got over $90 worth of designs for about $20. xxx

719917727I think we all have done the same thing Dennis. I now always wait until Friday to see what the deal is for the week. At least we do learn from our mistakes.

You are so right about learning from one's mistakes. The significance of Friday hadn't occured to me. Thanks for the advice.
169064Place designs on your wish list. Then wait until the friday sales. They have lots of good sales that come out on fridays. Send them an E mail. They are good with customer service. They always answer. Good luck !

111376Put the designs you like and want in your wish list and then just wait for the Sale. They have them sooo often, you'll get the hang of it. The majority of my designs are from emblibrary and have been purchased during the weekly sale or happy hour. Have fun with your new designs. .Carol
