All embroidery sites are not created the same, there is a lot of junk out there. I would hesitate to post a site because I don't have the time to go through and check for illegal designs,bad digitizing etc. Google what you are looking for,there are plenty out there both good and bad. Good luck in your search

I keep a folder on my computer and paste a link to all the websites I've been too. I ususally include a word to remind me what I especially liked on the site. There are a lot of sites that I'd never visit again because I'm not interested in the style of the designs. For example, I never save sites that only have applique.
There are probably thousands of sites around the world. I admit, I tend to stick with the tried and true sites I am familiar with. I don't like taking risks with the hackers.
That's a very good question, but I suppose if we had a list of don't visits they would just start up another one to lure you in..
Most of us frequent those sites from our "Freebie" section. It's a good place to start anyway. You can MOSTLY trust that they have been checked by us for illegal designs. It doesn't mean that they have well-digitized designs, because we can't make those calls for you.
