After answering your question I have come back to see the results. It seems we would be in a big heap of trouble if we had to agree on the same things. We can agree on how much we Love our embroidery. Thanks for the fun question.

Number one is difficul I love so many sites including Amazing and Cutes I like to buy from emb. Library because of designs and costumer service like OPW too designs. I like flowers and butterflies, I am addictive to fabrics, if I go to a fabric store and do not buy a piece of fabric I am probably sick LOL

Design sites: Lots of them - smartneedle, julias designs, bettysorinalembroideries,ddd, amazing embroidery, loralie, Artistic designs and ... and...
Design. Categories: anything that stitches out beautifully from toweltoppers to baby designs to girlish stuff. Gadget: I like gadgets more than jewelry and perfume to mention some - my macbook, my iphone and ipod, My embroidery machine. Maybe I should say if it is a gadget I will fall for it. A colleague of my gave me a USB hub which is also a coffee warmer the other day and I loved it.

1. Emblibrary 2. Nature( birds,flowers, wild animals) 3. Embroidery machine and a tiny pair of Wescott Titanium Scissors. Totally lost without the scissors! My next venture is going to be FSL. I have an angel design from Susan Jacobi that I really want to try. Have never done any FSL! According to how it turns out, I want to try some of Shirlene's designs. They are beautiful.

Linda, I don't have designs - but I do stitch out designs from alot of different websites and have a website that I sell those items on, don't want anyone thinking that they would be buying designs - when in fact it is just the LACE item from me.

I like Embroidery Library not only because of designs, which are lovely, but the service and tutorials. Secret of Embroidery because there are many designers in one place and you get points so you could use them to get free designs, Y just got two free sets using my points.Stitch Delight, I love their FSL, Julia's Embroidery because of her cute designs, Oh, my Goodness !!!!! I think I like them ALL!

After going thru many different sites in the past years, my favorite is "Emblibrary". I like their designs, and the many sales they offer, the way they keep records--if you lose your designs you can go back and get them again. Their "Customer Service" is the best I have found anywhere. This is very important to me. H&*
