24 May 2013: Just my luck!!

A couple of days ago I purchased several designs from Embroidery Library. Today I received an email from them advertizing their 'Spend $10 and get $5 off at checkout' sale by using their voucher code. You can use the voucher three times, following which they will send an email with another code for further offers.

Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr. Still, musn't complain...lol

It is always on Friday's that they provide with any special offers. Their new designs come out on Tuesdays. I personally always wait till the weekend to order from them. THought that this info might be of useful to you in the future.

Put the designs you like and want in your wish list and then just wait for the Sale. They have them sooo often, you'll get the hang of it. The majority of my designs are from emblibrary and have been purchased during the weekly sale or happy hour. Have fun with your new designs. .Carol

I think we all have done the same thing Dennis. I now always wait until Friday to see what the deal is for the week. At least we do learn from our mistakes.

You are so right about learning from one's mistakes. The significance of Friday hadn't occured to me. Thanks for the advice.

I know the feeling of paying full price only to have it go on sale next week. But on the bright side - I just got over $90 worth of designs for about $20. xxx

Sometimes I be like that :( I had the same thing when I got a few pieces of fabric online and than they went on sale for 30% off. I will count my blessings because the fabric was only $1.95 per yd and if I would have waited, they would have sold out. So now I can make me some summer tops in a hour sewing time...FIESTA ;D *2U

I always wait for the Friday to see if there is a special on. Fortunately there was one again this week and I was able to pick up some of those nice watercolour designs.

It appears that everyone, except me (Doh), had this Friday thing sussed. I looked at those watercolour designs and thought that they were very nice. I would be interested to know how they machine out.
by sewist1 25 May 2013
Haven't had a chance to try them out yet.

I too like Embroidery Library, love their wish list, also they alert you if you have already purchased a design before, and you can always go and re download any previous purchased designs .. all good :-)

They keep me coming back. I started writing down when I purchase anything online - amount, date and place. I've noticed that Embroidery Library gets quite a bit of my $$$. They always have a sale so I now put things I would like to purchase on the "wish list" and when a 50% off sale comes up. I then, know just what I'm going to spend it on. They have made me into a "Savy Shopper" I do love their many features of keeping track of what I purchase. Plus I can always go back and download as needed.

well I do hope you can enjoy the purchased designs, and perhaps you were in doubt of buying a few others, and you can do these now. have a great weekend :)

I think you only get the happy hour sale if you made a purchase the month before. That's the way I get most of mine. Either half price or $1.00.

So sorry Dennis. Designs I like with Embroidery Library I will put into the wish list. Sooner or later they will have some special and then it is time to pull them out to the cart to purchase. They have so many wonderful designs. Super good site.

Sympathy ! Have also had this happen to me - only buy on their sales now. They also offer a percentage off everything in your wish list sometimes so a good idea to keep it full with designs that you like.

Hi Dennis,

Don't ya just hate that? I used to always buy beautiful clothes outfits from a local store here in our Lake Macquarie Shopping Centre at full price and then within weeks they would have a sale. In the end I refused to buy anything from them and haven't since then, now how's that for restraint? I think this sort of thing happens to everyone. Love Chris

Thank you all for your replies, all the good advice and the amusing comments. I do agree that Embroidery Library is excellent in respect of the facilities it offers on its website and the quality of the designs. Anyway, based upon the good advice received, I shall now go back and spend my pocket money.

Unfortunately Emb. Library doesn't have any designs on Cricket! Oh! well the Aussies are on their way to bring back "The Ashes"!!!!!!!!

(P.S. this is an inside joke about our Australian Cricket Team heading over to England to hopefully bring back the "Urn")

I've included a link all about the famous Urn! Love and blessings Chris

Dennis there is a great sale at Urbanthreads at the moment just so you don't have to pay full price. Though the £ to the $ is not so good at the moment

next month you can take advantage of happy hour and you don't even need to visit the Pub. They will email you with the latest offer and you can get twice as much. So stock up in your wish list and you will be ready to go!

Thank you. I have taken heed of the advice given by you good ladies here and started to fill up my wish list. Mind you, I may have to go back and cull a few as my wife restricts my pocket money!
by bevintex 27 May 2013
when is your birthday month? They give away 10 dollars in free designs to their customers but you must be registered at the site,dont worry they wont ask for the year you were born. lol
