    I created one folder for embroidery designs, then inside that I have separate folders for Childrens, Christmas, animals, etc... to keep them organized.

    If you are going to the designs to your computer, I would suggest having a backup hard drive installed. They are not expensive, and if your computer crashes, you only lose what's on the main hard drive.....my DH put one in for me and I save evrything to the backup drive (designs, pictures, anything I wouldn't want to lose). This way i don't have to save everything to a disc....

    Yes, it's a good idea to back up your designs in at least 2 places! If your hard drive or PC crashes, you won't loose all your designs. This is also why I like embroidery library. They keep a record of all your purchases so if your PC crashes, you can just download them again, even years later!
    Here are 2 more sites, don't think have been mentioned. I've ordered from both and they stitch out great:

    The florals here are beautiful:

    I use some of these sites already mentioned and see a couple I did not know about.
    Look closely or stitch it out on a scrap first, sometimes the design is not correct from the digitizer. I e mailed emb library
    when this happenned and they got it corrected but I had wasted 1 hr doing it first.
    Also Martha Pullen has designs offered each month and old ones to purchase.
    Sending you a private message also.

    I look on Ebay all the time for embroidery designs. Anita Goodesign is a great design company. They can be expensive, but sometimes you can get a deal or get a used one. Most of my larger design collections come from Anita Goodesign.

    There is a post about the site "Designs by Sick". I just wanted you to know that their thread prices are really good as well. I've run their thread in my Janome and they run great.
