I joined last year, downloaded all their designs and since then, have dumped a lot of them. But for $5 I'm sure you would find your money's worth.
What was more valuable, was their member's only section where you can watch movies about how to digitize. I also watch 2 sessions of webinars with Holly teaching how to digitize. Those were good.

I have been a member for years....I have not been sorry. gjemptynester stated that she dumped a lot of the designs...can't understand why, unless it was because she just didn't think she would use them. I wouldn't think because of the quality of them..

Well worth the money! They are also very helpful if you have any problems. I love the designs & they have all stitched out well for me. You will be renewed automatically so if you don't want to renew, be sure & cancel before your time runs out.

I am not a member. However I have just stitched out
2 of their freebies. An applique frog and a seahorse. Both were a delight to stitch out and no
problems. They have usually 4 freebies every Friday.
You can go back to previous ones. olds/Maureen

Wow-sounds like a heck of a deal Carolyn-the last time I checked-couple days ago-it was $19.95 for 3 months-normal $9.95 p/m-now buy 2 get 1 free. You must be on their VIP list-go for it-you can always cancel when the 3 months is up if you don't want it anymore

About a year ago - I was offered the same deal and I subscribed. I absolutely got all the designs I wanted. It took a little time, but, I went through each, only downloading what I liked. I only kept the subscription for the 3 months (I think you have to unsubscribe). Honestly, I haven't used very many designs - but, I have them, if I need them in the future. Good luck, it will keep you busy downloading!! Hugs, Laura*

I had a subscription for many years and let it go just last month. I found that I was subscribing to too many sites sew let it go. They have many wonderful designs. I don't like that you must download "all formats" then delete those you don't use. That can be a real hassle.

After unzipping a set, I have a folder on desktop labeled as to what it is with ATW at the end. Then I just move the format I use over to that folder & throw out the original folder. I like that they are including a PDF file now with the colors & pictures so I don't have to rename each file..can just go to the PDF & check the pics!

I did one time when it was up for $5.00. Really cute designs and stitch out well but I didn't renew since so many were stick designs and a lot of things I felt were for kids. It is a great deal though and I still get their newsletter with freebies but haven't taken any for a long time. They really are great people. Maybe try it once for that price and see how you like it.

Can we also get the membership for just $5? If so, where do we go - is there a link? Thanks!

$5 for three months is a great deal. It's certainly worth a try.

I was a member several years ago. It is my least favorite membership site. I'm sure the designs are "quality;" however, most of them really didn't appeal to me-- lots of kiddie stuff-- sticks and elementary coloring book type designs.

I did not cancel before the three month membership ended so I was automatically renewed. I HATE THAT!

There's a section with prayer requests and religiousy chat if that kind of thing interests you. And Holly demonstrates how to do stuff. Some of it you might have to pay extra for-- or sign up for before. Can't remember. There was something I was interested in and there was a problem with viewing the (free) demonstration. Don't remember what it was or the problem.

I recently decided to sign up for their freebies given via email subscription. I NEVER found the link to download. I just went round and round in circles. It is ironic that a download link from an email says you have to sign up for email to get a free set.

I wish Larry and Holly Pike well-- only the best; but for me, I think I'll pass on their offers again.

I am so sorry you had an unpleasant experience with ATW. But did you contact them about not being able to find how to download the freebie? I've always had wonderful service from them. As for the prayer request, I think it's great that you can choose to read or not. I have found there's a whole world out there that has a common ground, even when they worship in different churches. Hopefully you will be able to get the freebies after contacting Larry. At least give it a try. I am finding almost all sites now are having you sign up/in to download any freebies. Maybe the Pikes will see the comments here & do more "other" designs than sticks. I'm not overly fond of the sticks either, but can choose not to download them! There's a lot more there to download!

read or not. Hopefully you can get some info on how to download so you can get the freebies. I'm not overly fond of sticks, but there's a lot more there to choose from!

I just went to ATW & counted the design sets under "newest designs" and there were 11 totally adult & 4 totally children (no sticks) and some could be either. Was just curious after reading the posts. I wish I could add to my sub. for $5!
