Free-standing lace designs are my favorite. From ornaments and coasters to bowls and even lampshades, there truly is something for every taste and style.

Now that I've decided on my design and have the particulars drawn out, I'm getting more artistic with it! The design process is mechanical and technical.

Some days I can't even insert a needle straight. Luckily, the automatic needle threader on my embroidery machine won't work if the needle isn't in place.

Every new design stitched or technique learned was a moment of delight.

For Christmas this year, why not use any type of embroidery design, but color it uniquely for the holiday? Red and green are beautiful, but blue and gold are also quite traditional, while still being different.

Christmas is the perfect time of year to search for new free embroidery designs! Digitizers are a generous group, and we all love to share … especially at the holidays.

When looking for embroidery designs, it is important to me to be able to tell the quality of the sets I am interested in. Free embroidery downloads offer me a chance to try out the quality of the digitizer's talent and style.

When I got my first embroidery machine I had no idea what to expect. What was normal. What was abnormal. The embroidery stitching didn't sound like normal sewing machine noises

Now that I am also deeply involved in the world of machine embroidery, I find this happening more and more.

It's by one of my favorite creators of machine embroidery designs, and each piece has almost 50,000 stitches! Luckily, this is a small project and only has six pieces! This type of machine embroidery takes some extra preparation and causes lots of nail biting anxiety!
