Welcome! You're sweet, but don't feel guilty. Everyone is truely just sharing for the sake of sharing. Just google 'free machine embroidery designs' and see what comes up and then grab a cup of coffee and start looking. Here's a list of freebie sites to get you going. I think it's old so some of them may not be active any longer, I haven't really had a chance to look thru them. Just have to click & look :) Have fun! *4u, sandy

If you type in Free embroidery Designs in you browser, you will get heaps of sites with freebies.

Just be careful of some sites. The one I can think of right now is "Embroidery is Free" it is a banner on www.embroideryfriend.com. This site is okay but when I click on embroideryisfree my Avast antivirus tells me it is not safe

Hi nama2, I started machine embroidery in the good old days of DOS programs and found it very hard to get any sort of help with digitizing in my area which is a small country town 200k from any large retailers and before internet became a household norm.
I started by going to my local library and renting half hour time slots using their internet and then joining Annthegran I branched out from her links. there is a wide world of links, and most designers have freebies and more links.
good luck hunting. Colleen, Australia
