My name is Brenda, I am 55yrs old and really a novice on machine embroidery. I love all the freebies that you all out there are placing on this site and enjoy it tremendously! Unfortunately in SA there is not a Website which I can join and I do not have a credit card, so not even one of the overseas websites will accept me as a member without a credit card! At this stage I am solely relying on all you wonderful people to send me either website addresses where I can obtain freebies or even receiving freebies from anyone of you will be wonderful. May you all enjoy a Happy New Year and embroidery pleasures for 2009!
WELCOME TO CUTE EMBROIDERY!!!!!!!!!!!

You have already been given much information on freebies but probably the most important information you need to know is that it is illegal to share designs with other people, unless you are the person who digitised the design.
The whole idea of digitisers giving away freebie designs, is to attract embroiderers to their websites, where it is hoped you will see some of their designs you like enough to buy.
It may help you to inderstand this if you read the article at the link I have posted below:
If you go to the Cute's "Bookmarks" page you will find hundreds of websites where free designs are available, but please be careful in your hunt for freebies as not ALL websites are safe and you always run the risk of downloading a virus and losing more than just your free design collection.

BuyStitch is another site no pay membership If you fill in the site updates you will get a reminder each week when new designs are up. also when you fill in for the freebies you get the link back in an email, Don't forget to download the colour layers straight away. Save you designs in the designers own folders, you can also use sub folders. Save your sites in Favourites. I save under SEWING then sub folders named Daily, Weekly, Monthly, others. hope this helps. keep an eye on this forum
