I've been using Embroidery Library and iBroidery for designs but they don't always have what I'm looking for. I would appreciate suggestions on other sites you have used and like. I'm leary of trying just any site that comes up in a search. Some are not what they seem. TIA.

I now have a couple of sites I use exclusively because I know their stuff is very well digitized, always dependable.
Urban Threads has designs that are very unique. Molly Mine is fantastic for a variety of things again always a perfect stitchout from her. For a huge variety of items I go to Artistic Thread Works.
I've done 2 quilts from Hoop Sisters and their stitch outs are great but the patterns are very expensive. The quilts turn out absolutely gorgeous.

I have many sites that I go to and each of them have their own style of embroidery. Sonia Showalter has some very beautiful designs and she also gives some of them away almost weekly. I have several of her alphabets and other designs. They stitch out exceptionally. Planet Applique has cute kid style appliques. Ann the Gran, Embroidery Home, Gorgeous Stitches, Embroidery Designs.com, Splinters and Threads, Pixie's Rule, Embroidery Garden, and a lot of the ones already mentioned also have freebies you can download and try out. Have fun searching!
