Embroidery is addicting

**sewsandy** · January 25th, 2010

I never realized how addicting embroidery is. I have so many designs now I don't know where to start. Most of the time I just embroider out sample designs. Just seeing what they look like is amazing.

Sample designs? You are way ahead of me!!! Think of the beautiful quilt you will be able to put together...

**ravenstreamr** · January 25th, 2010

At least you are actually stitching out the designs. I have a lot - a really, really, really big lot - of designs that I have never stitched out at all.

I also have a tendency when I do stitch out a sample to get side-tracked into that sample becoming a project. Not a bad thing, really.

So James, it's good to see you here again. I was just wondering what you were up to since I hadn't seen a post from you for a while. Your comment about studying answered that question.

It's good to be back

Hopefully I'll have enough time to digitize some new designs!

My husband says I am so addicted to embroidery these days that I have thread coming from my ears and designs tattooed on my arms, LOL I have to laugh because what he says is so true. So much so I just became a Life Time Member and bought everything. You can't beat the prices or quality of work.

Welcome to the world of a totally harmless addiction, but I have to correct you. You are not addicted - you are dedicated!

**tndenim** · April 8th, 2010

I've got thousands of designs - and I'll admit I don't even know what ha;f of them are any more. But I won't delete them!!!!!!

And not only am I am addict - I am also an enabler!!! I got my best friend hooked on machine embroidery. And now I'm working on a cousin!!!

hehe sewsandy ... welcome to the club!

I doubt you will find one person here in this forum who is not addicted to embroidery. It's a common desease as it seems!

**jstitch** · April 8th, 2010

I know I have more designs than I can ever stitch out.

I also have turned DS's old room into my embroidery room, complete with taking over his closet for blanks that I have found on sale. Someday soon I'm going to have to get down there and actually stitch something out.

I think so, wienerin. Where do I go to make sure about that?

go to your UserCP, look for the link "Social Groups" in the left sidebar, scroll down a bit to see the "Show all Groups"-link on the right side and choose the Whackaspamma Club!

Sorry to correct you Wienerin, it's not a desease, it's a SICKness.

**Rebekah1234** · April 20th, 2010

Yes, i have thiis SiCKness. I also have a Sickness for collecting designs.
When will they invent a way to download the designs, so that they are automatically categorized, in the correct format and by digitizer and category??? Well I can dream you know!

I must say that I have been here since Oct 09, and since then I have really enjoyed meeting lots of wonderful friends. I only got Joy (my ME) last Friday, I totally understand the addiction now, I spent most of the day yesterday looking at designs, I found lots that I wanted to down load. Only to get home to find out that my hubby took my computer to the shop to be fixed and they want to keep it for 5 to 10 days

. I told him that he is going to be limited on his computer so I can use it as well.
