I do not go to any embroidery message
boards anymore, but I DO have 3 websites
that I LOVE to get my designs from.
Many have already mentioned Embroidery
Library, I buy MANY designs from this site
I absolutely LOVE FSL (free standing lace)
designs and have been slowly working on
getting some inventory made so that I can
get them posted on my online studio to sell.
The other two design sites I really like are:
A Design in Stitches
http://www.adesigninstitches.net/
at $45 per year it is not a bad deal for unlimited downloads
at least in my opinion.
DK Embroidery
http://www.embroiderydk.com/
this site has great quality designs, but it can be some
what costly. I purchased a yearly membership last
year but it has since expired and right now it is just
not in my budget to renew my annual membership.
They do have monthly memberships and the one I
prefer is the $9 per month (don't remember annual cost)
but with the listed cost above you get an email WEEKLY
with all the new design attached.
There are MANY websites to get designs from and
many of these websites have limited free designs
each day, week or month. As far as the BEST quality
free designs (which are done monthly) is at embroidery
library (so far that I have found).
At this current time I have OVER 90,000 designs with
about 75-80% being names in 2 different font styles.
