They are free! Most sites mostly give free alphas and save their more time-consuming designs for income for the site. Go ahead and collect the fonts. It's like having a big library of designs against the day that your customer or mother of your grandchild says, what I would really like is her initials in angel designs, or scarecrows, or witches, or tractors and farm equipment. You reach into your computer, and there they are.

It's interesting to see what are people's favorites in designs. I love flowers too, but I admit to using a lot of the Cute fonts for towels, bags and other items. They stitch out beautifully whatever the design you choose.

The fonts are as good as designs if not more versatile. I like Betsey find many uses for them and LOVE that I have such a variety to meet everyone's need or likes.

I assume you are talking about the free ones. Most sites give free alphabets for various reasons. One of them is, it takes a while for the sequence to finish etc. They also do need income to be able to maintain the website and hope you would purchase what you have need for while getting your freebie. Many of them closed for lack of finances. Some only give one or 2 a month and others recycle the same ones over and over again. Here we are so lucky for the quality and variety of designs and the offer of 6000+ designs for $ 29.00 is a amazing deal.

Actually if you have a membership there are thousands of designs that are not fonts or alphabets...a wide variety of flowers, scenes, angels, children, animals, every holiday there is and more...try a membership and see how versatile and well digitized the designs are here...if you are talking about the free designs...well they are FREE!

A membership is the way to go.
