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

Unless it was something I really wanted I don't see a need to pay a monthly fee for designs plus then paying for the design. Emb Library is fabulous and there are many sites with tons of freebies....but you do need to check them out as others have said many are not digitized properly and have numerous jump stitches. The program Amma suggested is really great and I also recommend it.
