Electronic embroidery is fun! But be advised - sharing commercially prepared designs is definitely TABOO - it violates many copyrights. There are several sites that offer free designs - those can be shared. Other sites offer designs for purchase, either ina multi pak or as individual designs. These designs can be used on personal items and some can be used on items intended for sale but you CANNOT legally share or resell the designs. Now, are their embroidery design police running around arresting misguided sharing people or confiscating items sold? Not likely, but there may be watchdogs cruising flea markets, yard sales, community sales and brick and mortar stores. Its best NOT to take a chance. Most designs I've acquired allow for sale of items the design has been applied to. But some designs (like Disney or other licensed designs) CANNOT be used on items intended for sale. You can GIFT the item, but not sell it with that licensed design. OESD tends to have detailed, affordable designs that are downloadable. SImple Google searchs for "free embroidery designs" will take you to places with tons of designs ( but usually sparse "ferret" designs). You can also sample an embroidery design program and this may allow you to digitize your own ferret photo or clip. Beware though - machine embroidery gets addictive! Before you know it your mind is reeling with ideas and trips to the Good Will store have you bringing home blankets, towels and clothing to practice on! Visit "Ann the Gran", and "The sewing forum" for great help and designs!
