Add me to the list as well! Here's one I made for a wedding gift. The magnolia design is from Embroidery library.

Very nice quilts!
I love emb libr too. I have many of their designs. I also belong to artistic Thread Works, Designs by Sick and I used to belong to a couple more clubs but I was downloading all the time and had to cut back. So I am just a member of those two sites now.

I also like BunnyCup Embroidery, she has some really cute designs, I think I have almost ALL of her sets. Another site I like is Sewing for Sarah. She has a lot of in the hoop projects.

Thanks. The peacock one (bottom) was for my son & DIL.

Thanks for all the info- I've been surfing these sites and can't wait until my machine gets here to start learning. I will have lots of ideas- better make a list!

I also ME. Another great site to get free designs from is Sew Forum. You have to join but it is free. They even have a section where you can ask someone to create a design for you for free. Most of my purchased designs are from Embroidery Library. I also have a monthly membership to Emboridery DK. I'm a design download junky. :-)

Me, too. I have a Singer 200, and I love it! It does a nice job sewing, too, but it mainly stays set up for embriodery.
I love the freebie sites, and have found a few good ones by googling "free machine embroidery patterns."

Just a warning for those just starting out with the ME, the free sites can be very good but you have to be careful as some of them are done by people that don't know or just starting out doing the digitizing and don't work as well as you hope they do. So unless it is a site that you trust and or person that you trust as you have used their stuff a lot, stitch it out first on scrap or a tea towel or something to try it out. This can actually go for some of the bought designs as well, though most of them wouldn't be around for long if their designs had a lot of issues. It is easier to stitch it out again than try and take it out.

I almost always do a test out stitch first especially if it is a free design. I don't alway test out those I get from Embroidery Library first because I've never had a problem from them. Like cutebuns said try and test out on the same type of fabric that you will be doing your final stitch out on. That way you will also know if the stabalizer you are using will work out. I have a t-shirt that I messed up on and if my final stitch out will be a tshirt I just do the design on another part of that messed up shirt. I have towels that I do the same thing with. Yes it does waste a little thread and stabalizer but in the long run it is worth it.

i also did a quilt with that same emb design the magnolia blossom, here's mine. i have a janome memory craft 350 emb machine and i sure do love it. you can go to designsbysick.com and get designs too. and i love all the other places yall mentioned. also a pic of the peacock i did on the back of a black jacket.
