There is so much free stuff out there that unless you are looking for something specific, I think the memberships are a waste of money. I did one that was for 3 months, and downloaded exactly 1 set, which was I wanted to begin with, didn't see anything else I even wanted. Two very good ones are Emboidery Library and Embroidery designs. :-D
