me too

I try to only buy what I will use but sometimes.........

well at least you can choose when you want to embroider something....
hugs, Gerry

Wait......we have to use them?!?!

I sometimes say this is only a dollar a design , them I always buy more than just one.

Me too, try to use what I spend money on but sometimes you can't resist, and then when you have a membership...

I do not drink,smoke or gamble. My addiction is collecting designs. It is a lot healthier, Ha, ha

Next time.

Oh, my! I didn't realize there was another use for them. (Don't tell hubby how much I have invested in storage for only my lovely designs!)

I'm with jrob, I'm buying designs because I like them and might someday use them. In the meantime, I enjoy scrolling through and dreaming of what I can do with them. I would rather collect designs than something I have to find space to store and to dust. I'm glad I have this addiction than so many others.

The answer LYN is Never. Just remember how much fun it has been collecting them. Yes Lyn it is an addiction but one that is not hurting anyone else except maybe your bank manager heeheehee. Hugs Marg

01 30 2015 For me the designs are like art, only more affordable, easier to store, and fascinating each time I look at them. I love to look at the talent of so many people from around the world. It is amazing how something can be done so different by so many people. Example: Santa, depending on where you are from your picture of Santa is different. Another example is traditions behind moments, Christmas, once again depending on where you are from, includes elves, trolls, or advent calendars. A wonderful way to learn about people, countries, and traditions. With this being said, it is what I have missed on each holiday with DBC being down. I know, sore topic, but I miss the art and creativity. I am guilty of saving designs that I will never use since I only have 4X4 space, but it is art. I collect it and appreciate it. I have it saved, backed up, and a second back up kept at a different place. Many thank you to all that have contributed to my collection that is greatly appreciated. Besides it takes up less space than my fabric stash.

Guilty! Maybe, maybe not...Is that going to stop me? NOPE! It's my THERAPY...cheaper than a psychiatrist. Easier on my car...not using gas; not running the street...saves on shoe soles; low in fat and caloric intake...saves the waist line. I could go on and on! If it's an addiction so is breathing...ain't gonna stop that anytime soon I hope. Looking at it positively I have now got a reason to live forever! Amen. Thank you, Lord.

Well Lyn i don't drink***
I don't Chew ***
And i don't hang around them that do ***
SEW*****I do collect designs and threads and have many of both lol hugs as always carolyn

We all do this, don't feel bad. Kay

We are all guilty of buy designs we love, but if you don't grab it when on special or when you see it you can guarantee will need it for that project you've been wanting to do.. Marian

My issue is I buy them when they are on special, put them away in their respective categories and then totally forget I have them! Hugs. Nan W

Sometimes I spend more time trying to find designs I know I have than actually embroidering.
The problem is when you buy a pack or set you don't have the time to rename every design in it.

I ask myself the same question after buying so many also but then I keep saying "ONE DAY I WILL USE THEM"

it is like collecting fabrics or stamps. you enjoy to own them, to store and admire. it is fun to think about how to use it (or just to know you have somrthing to choose from)

thanks for the laughs ~ I no longer feel bad about being a design hoarder or should I say collector? ~ hugs, Joyce

So relieved to hear there are others like me. Feel if they aren't saved there's no way to find them again. Such lovely designs and ideas available.

Story of my life and love every minute of it . Gotta keep the Aussie/ embroidery world economy going :))

I think all our feet fit that limb Lyn Lol/Lillian
