Two places you want to check out: Embroidery Billboard and Oregon Patchworks. They each sponsor a whole slew of digitizers ... you can see a their designs and, if you join Embroidery Billboard and Oregon Patchworks, can download many samples. While you are checking out those embroidery designs, you will get opportunities to join different Yahoo groups. As a Yahoo group member, you can take advantage of free designs. Eventually, you will accumulate more freebies than you can ever use and you will know whose work you like. I buy from Embroidery Library; the variety is vast; the designs are wonderful and the weekly sales and special promotions are unbeatable.
