Go to Yahoo, groups, and sign up for some of the embroidery groups. You will learn from all the more experienced, and they are always posting links to free designs. You will soon have more designs than you can ever sew. My hint is to set up a filing system on the computer to place your desingn in catogories. That's the only way to find what you need later. There is even a site that has this already done for you, all you need do is download. I don't remember the link, but if you get in most any group, someone will be able to post the link for you. Have fun ( I have bernina 180 e)
