Here is the link for the Needlework Russia home page. On the right hand side, after the projects pictures, there is a listing for free design downloads, including ones you can download without registering. I checked, I can download them. The listing for free designs on the top LEFT of the page is for designs that are free only with purchase. Warning: there are designs on this site that are normally licensed designs, and I don't find documentation to my satisfaction that they are legal. But, there are also lovely designs by Russian artists, and Igor Denisov is a good digitizer. I won't download anything suspicious, but the flowers, butterflies, big cats, etc. I don't see a problem with. Do as your conscience tells you. Hugs, Marji
Thank you...I will not download anything
"suspicious", I appreciate all your info.
Linda, the website has changed a bit, there used to be a lot of free designs just for the downloading. There are still free designs, but not as many, and some are just free with purchase. There are lots of great designs, done on artwork by Russian artists, and the digitizing is nice. Unfortunately, there is lots of Disney and copyright stuff not explained to my satisfaction, so obvoiusly, stay away from that stuff. I'll try to go there and see if I can find an easy way to explain how to get the free designs that are offered. Hugs, Marji
I read it to, this site has some legal issue, and yes they have some free designs, but must of them are free if you buy another , I think.
I am pretty sure this is the website we were told to stay away from as there was a big legal case going on. Some one else will know more
