I'm sick for sure. Last night I bought Designs By Sick's week long membership for $15 and downloaded every page, why?, 'cuz you just never know...

You downloaded over 22,000 designs in one week? That is amazing! I thought it would take a lot longer than that! I think you have a nice stash of designs. Live Laugh Download Stitch!

I thought it would be very slow too and that way you couldn't get too many in a week or you would give up....but it wasn't. I have a 1.5M connection (not screaming fast) and it just went one after another. It was crazy. I figured it would take me longer to decide if I wanted that set than it would to just take it!

And, I did it in one afternoon. I still have 7 days left on my membership so this morning there was a new one I could have too!

Sets are easier to categorize than single, at least I can do 10 at a time!

I don't have to unzip them, my Designers Gallery can view them zipped. I'd cry if I had to do that!

Can I ask, what is "Designers Gallery",
it sounds very good.

It is organizational software from Designer's Gallery, what I have really is Studio Plus. It may be outdates as now I only see Studio III on their site. I like it, but I've never had anything else.

I bought the membership on Friday and it took me 2 hours to download them all. Luckily with the Imac I just highlight all the zips and it extract them by it self. I also went through the designs and I would not use them all but there is a number of sets which I really like. Also thought while I am at it let me do the lot.

The sad thing to me is that their designs are just not what they used to be. Too much RW and appliques. Had a membership once, years ago, and it was worth it, but don't think so any more. But you got all those old ones so you did good.

I like RW for light designs and I love applique because I love fabric, so I think it'll be ok. Some are definitely better than others and I do miss their designer Carol!!

Great going, LOL. I usually extend my membership there each time there's a sale and try to check for new sets that I might like each week or so. I hope you are able to make use of lots of them.

I like RW too. It's quick and works for lots of stuff.
I really need an intervention though!

Wow - it took me long enough to download and unzip a hundred or so sets! I certainly got value for money!

I did the $10 special they had in spring and I also downloaded the entire site. If I pay for it, I'm getting it. I've done that with each subscription site I've belonged to thru the years. ATW had a $5 for 3 months special a bit ago and I renewed my subscription and caught up. I think I'd have a hard time remembering all the subscription sites I've joined. :)

You just never know when a desing will come in handy! Can't tell you how many times I've used a design that I thought I'd never use. Remembering where I put them is my challenge...

Congratulations, I think, they should be coming to measure you for the straightjacket any time now, hee hee hee. I certainly admire your downloading ability, I would have been blind & cross-eyed, with cramped fingers! You got your money's worth, that's for sure. But you know darn well that somebody's going to ask for the one design that isn't in your collection, no matter how big & varied it is--Murphy's Embroidery Law, hee hee hee. Enjoy yourself with all your new designs, hugs, Marji

I didn't know it was an illness. Way cool. They have some pretty good designs.

Fantastic what you have done. So far I am only addicted to their one dollar page - it is fun to look and collect and you can download days later and still you get the price... but it certainly would have been more economic to pay 15 dollar and download everything at once as you did
But I am proud - just stitched out two of their designs .
Really beautiful!
