quiltingwolf Advanced MD USA Member since 12/15/02 Posts: 4986	Login to reply to this post 11 members like this. Date: 10/6/12 8:50 AM Don't collect too many embroidery designs. Then you will be overwhelmed and won't be able to decide on what designs to use for a project. And then since you can't decide on a project you will spends hours at the computer trying to decide what designs to use. When you spend hours at the computer unable to decide your family will go hungry, your dust bunnies will multiply and the clothes will pile up. So I repeat don't collect too many designs. I have spent more time organizing, backing up, buying designs then I have spent stitching them out. ------ quiltingwolf.blogspot.com

I remember you and I had this conversation when we were buying embroidery designs--something like 700 of them. I still have mine, and I started to organize them. But I got bored, thinking I'd NEVER use them all, and gave up. It's kind of like fabric stash, huh? ------ "We don't impose our rhythm on Nature. The key is to respect and live within Her."

And then pay full price? I'm just sayin'... And thus a stash was born...

Date: 10/6/12 10:33 AM this is true we can hide them so much more easily. I did have a lot of fun collecting them though. I started collecting freebies and had Embird 2 months before I got a machine. ------ quiltingwolf.blogspot.com

I have many free ones and they are never the ones I need when I am looking for a particular design. I have many designs that I buy as I need them. I used to organize them, but I got lazy! And yes, I waste a lot of time looking at what I have and then checking out some of my design sites. It never ends, but that is okay with me.

The amount of designs I have is jut stupid, but I still collect. ------ Marilyn January 2009 to January 2010 81 yards out and 71yards in January 2010 to the present 106.7 yards out and 146.5 yards in.
