No, once you download it..it is yours forever. You might want to set up different folders in your computer to hold your different designs. There are a lot of freebies out there. My only caution is too test stitch on scrap material before embroidering on your project. Freebies from reputable sites usually stitch out just fine, but once in a while you'll find one that wasn't digitized well.
I will come up with some links for you and will post them on the Links and Resources page for you. I will title it, Finding Free Embroidery Designs. :wink:
Edit: I've posted some links for you. Have fun!
