Hello All,

I need help!!! I'm going to find someone locally who can do machine embroidery for me... One of my daughter's friends is deploying soon and we're throwing him a HUGE party. To that end...I need ASAP some good sources for Patriotic machine embroidery. Both for fee and free.

I really like the Americana color schemes but want to see it all.

Will be doing some "google-ing" on my own. Thank you so much....

And, yes, this is a cross post so if you're on more than one list with me... you'll see this post today.

Try embroiderylibrary.com good for designs and $$

Hi Kathy

You're in Phoenix right? Well I met this lady and had coffee with her at ummmmm Eise....something a big coffee shop out there on 19th Avenue and Glendale I think, while I was in Phoenix visiting my Mom and sister. She does commercial embroidery and is a really nice gal. I met her on one of my embroidery boards. Unfortunately, I haven't seen her since. Too many people to visit, not enough time as the saying goes. you might want to email her.
peglegpeg@yahoo.com

did you try Embriodery Library?

Kathy,
There is also the Embroidery Billboard, which is a Yahoo group that you can join for free and they send you free designs and options to buy other designs. I have belonged to if for some time and think it is a good idea!

hop on over to sewing world - http://www.sewingworld.com.
There's a topic there under "machine embroidery" where you can ask people where to find certain designs. You're sure to get several suggestions.

http://www.annthegran.com has some free and fee embroiderys. I know there are some patriotic themes on the sight. The designs I've down loaded from there have always been nice.
