I have been collecting for 9 years, oh when will I ever get to use all my designs, my DH can't understand how I can spend so much time just checking out free sites.
4554I definitely qualify to be a member! At least this addiction isn't fattening! *4U
29871Has anyone done a headcount of how many S.A.D.D. members are out there? *4U

Yes, I believe it is equivalent to the number of free designs on the internet....I had that number here on my desk somewhere....
22886A good posting to re-surface! Only a lot more members qualify!!!!! :):):):)
62459I really do think so jrob. Of course that would include every doggone one of us wouldn't it?
145789This is a "Hoot"!!! Even if it was posted in March, I'm bringing it back to the top. We all need a good laugh.

and by the way....HELLO, I don't see my coffee walking in here by itself! hahaha
85867Thank you for inviting me into your S.A.D.D. Group. It is one that I am definaly a charter member of. It is Sat morning, been up since 3 am and now it's 10:30. All I have done for the past 7 hours is download designs. (Except to get up for more coffee!!). I can't really sew right now as I can't use my left hand because of a pinched nerve, however, you only need the mouse (and I am right handed) to download. Imagine that, how convenient. I also don't work, so that gives me even more time to download. You cuties keep posting more web sites daily that have to be checked out and I think I got a message from Google last night that said "You have too many bookmarks. Please delete some". Or it said something like that! And now Yahoo is on my back about the number og groups that I am in. Yuppers, I am ADDICTED!!!! Thanks again for the invitation to S.A.D.D. Eric

I hate to tell you sweetie, Your computer will fill up and get slow and then you will have to spend all your time burning disks.

Glad you thanked us now, because you won't be thanking anyone later when you can't find anything you are looking for, haven't brushed your teeth in 2 days, and let's not even talk about changing from your pj's...It's a sorry club to be in. But you will be "Happy to be S.A.D.D." ;)
12810ok gals, check this out I have downloaded so many freebies thanks to all you and my own snooping and designs by sick and on and on and on that my dh actually and really and truly put in a new and seperate drive in the computer just to house all the patterns. Aint he sweet. He gets rewards also tho, he is a jazz organist and his equipment does't come cheap either. As least I found a web site to download his sheet music!!!!!!!! Tadaaaa

27 Mar 2008
All right. Now he's thinking. My DH also got me one... a Seagate w/500Gigs. I guess I could put a few of my designs on there. lol They best all fit *'s for all here today

do you have sheet music for Lilly was here
kids wanted it for sax but they wanted $500
17161Yesterday, I promised myself that I would ONLY download the things I had a specific project to use them on and then ONLY if I loved them. I am happy to say I ONLY downloaded 14 designs! I was such a good girl. hehehe ;)
158560I have the addiction too folks and since today I'm down with a bug I've spent all afternoon downloading and downloading..... I even forgot to fix dinner and hubby is now really protesting.. help!! but thanks to all that contribute at the bookmark section!!
10164I think it is safe to say all CUTIES qualify. I know I for one am a certifiable SADD..y!
12985I had to hunt a posting to give you another flower.
by minnieb
28 Jun 2008
dont hunt just click on name when when posts come up go to the first page they posted sure to find a missed flower
85867So when is our first meeting? *4U

27 Mar 2008
Well, the embroider-ware party lady suggested I invite twice as many people as I would like to attend in case of no-shows,don't be afraid to approach strangers in the supermarket to get numbers, be sure to phone everyone up at least 10 times in the 3 days prior to party, (restraining orders have been issued for less), get rid of hubby, try to convince everyone to have their own party as well as buy at mine, then, if I get 63 party bookings and $3.84 million in sales, I can get two free emblibrary designs. oh, hang on, have confused it with the Tupperware lady LOL.
Really, I don't think it would be wise to all get together and compare designs, some of us have children to feed and the human can only go so many days without food and we might not all make it home. Can you imagine how many combined designs we would all have. Astronomical.
by minnieb
28 Jun 2008
are you ok, stay off the coffee
sleep is good
I can't come to your tupperware party it scares me
211078imagine if designs were sold like tupperware!!!!! You would be sitting there with the demonstrator saying "and if you get so many desings sold you get a free design, BUT if you sell so many designs and get this many party bookings you get the WHOLE WEBSITE HALF PRICE !!!!!! And if you start selling and recruit more addicts to "embroider-ware" you will end up making heaps of money and be driving around in a fully embroidered "embroider-ware" car !!!!!!!

Libster, your imagination is running wild, but I am following you every word. Am I wild too?
2665I'm happy to know that I'm not alone. I'm completely SADD! And the worst is that I'm not sad of being SADD! Thanks for enlightening my SADD day!
14227Yes, I am very much a member of S.A.D.D. Thank you for giving my new illness a title jrob. Is there any cure??
by libster2896
27 Mar 2008
A cure, well that would be easy, get busy downloading EVERYTHING, given that emblibrary has a mere 49,000 designs, should only take a few years with a bit of diligence, load them on to a cd and there you have it, cure. maybe to speed up the process, you could use unpaid child labour (they are usually better on PC's anyway) like in the old coal mining days. unfortunately the side effect of having completely downloaded is this incurable itch to put onto machine card and starting itching, oh, i mean, stitching. Well, no cure is without side effect.
by libster2896
27 Mar 2008
Oh, and then there's cute, and bunnycup, and all the freebies in the bookmarks, and, oh, the list goes on. THEORETICALLY there is a cure.........
16434My daughter tells me that I am obsessed with embroidering but she doesnt realise that it is the collecting that is the addiction and there is not much time to sew them but I have forced myself to stop for a minute and get the birthday presents made. It is also very nice to get to sew them out and see how lovely they are and so they were worth the collecting and will be back soon to catch up on the sites that I go to and I have them emailed to me as well so have to check that everyday as well. lol. The funny thing is that it is not just me all the girls around the world are all doing the same thing at the same time only we cant see each other doing it. Sometimes I have to make time for the family in the busy scedule of design collecting. lol.

Well, you should know that although I do this alot, I have my hair done and full make-up and my nicest clothes on. (NOT);)
5014Oh dear answered in the wrong place! I didn't know what SADD was so I didn't now whether I was INfected with it! But yes I got it bad!
by jrob
26 Mar 2008
Carlene, yes, my dear, you ARE infected...as a matter of fact, you, too, qualify! ;)
205SADD to say I am happy downloading. I have 4 permanent web sites up I constantly check (2 are freebies every 10 mins :D and a nother has freeby every 12 mins :D) You should see me rush from my emb mach to the comp to get the next freebies and check posts. Gr8 2b a multi-tasker :P

158560We may need that - My husband has started calling me the internet junkie - Not that just love to see what is out there, and can not pass up some of those freebies you all tell us about.
44813Hello jrob, I think we all are infected with this downloas virus and not for sewing them all out, but to have them just in case we can use them *4U
58029UMMMMM i think i had better join this group although my sewing machine is happily sewing as i am on here at the moment anyway im sure we all have many designs that we may never use but hey they may be for JUSTIN justin case we need them hehehe happy downloading all oh and happy sewing when we get time :)*s for all
5120My Chiropractor has "ordered" me OFF the computer as it is causing me too many problems with my neck. Does this mean I am already a member of SADD? Hmmm! How many designs have I sewn so far? 5! How many designs have I downloaded? I can't count that high!!! LOL! Maybe tomorrow I won't even turn on my pc, Yeah! Right! Am i going to stop breathing?

122864I guess you had better sign me up. I logged on to see what the "Cute Family" had been stitching and all the Q &A's because I have learned so much here. I made the mistake of going to the Bookmarks first--That was 2 hrs. ago. :) :)

by silver
27 Mar 2008
I have found a way to create 'universal balance tho'.. I have posted a few of my very own (tho not professional) designs (freebies) on another site's page... Now I not only seek freebies I go 'peep' and see how many people have downloaded mine! That's just about as addictive lol
Silver
1275SADLY count me in but hey we could be addicted to much worse things
I wonder is it the actual downloading that we are addicted to or the beautiful community that has been developed here
Flowers for all my fellow addicts what ever it is we are addicted to****
736I'll help hunt. You can bag them. I feel like a big game hunter...just can't and don't want to quit. Sounds like a healthy addiction. Well at least it will be when I get spring cleaning done.
3468Are you talking about me? you are giving a portrait of Letvia!!! JaJaJa Flower and XoXo
44254Jrob, *please sign me up* - but only if it doesn't take up any of my time - I really, truly do *have to* download all those designs that are waiting in cyberspace for me, haha!!! Hugs and a flower for your suggestion sweetie, it's a good one.
13558Well that's me!! I have being off gathering more designs, MORE DESIGNS< MORE DESIGNS< MORE DESIGNS , I have dreams about sites that over flow with FREE designs, all you can download in mins. then I wait-up. flowers for all
7161Trying to sew today I am putting the Old Macdonald quilt together but have to stop every so often just to check in here *4U
764092665Well jrob maybe we should. I don't know how any body gets anything stitched.We are always chatting or collecting. But some of these girls keep posting finished item so~~~~~~~must be stitching in there sleep. Spring tulips and warm hugs to you
8150I know jrob it is an addiction . . . . . . more design . . . . more designs . . . One day I'll need them . . . That's what I tell myself.
Can I be a Charter Member ? Flowers for you.
