I believe we all struggle with the balance in our lives. Unless we were born into money, we have to work. Most of us have families that need our time too. Hopefully that still leaves a bit of time for our hobbies. 

In our case, the work can be a little overwhelming at times.  While Holly and I love what we do, or most of it, it can grow into a monster that requires daily ( or even hourly ) feeding.

That's why you are seeing some changes in our website pages, newsletter, emails, etc.  We are trying to streamline the processes so we have more time for the hands-on things we do that make our business unique. 

Thanks for your understanding as things morph from old to new.  :-)

Members of ArtisticThreadWorks can download any of the designs showing in our Members Design Library.  As of this morning there are...


We don't charge per design or per set of designs downloaded!  Help yourself as a member.  Think of it like going to an all-you-can-eat buffet where you just take what you'll use and leave the rest for someone else.

Not A Member Yet?

It's easy to join and start downloading today.  Just go to our "Join Us" page and you'll be inside in just about 60 seconds. 

Learn to digitize your own embroidery designs from Holly Pike.  Her website "YouCanDigitize" teaches from beginner to professional levels and anything in between using fun live webinars and video recordings. 

Maybe you bought digitizing software but couldn't find lessons?  Or maybe you took lessons but didn't remember half of what they taught by the time you got home?  Or maybe you just learn better when there is someone that can answer your questions!

Not a member of ArtisticThreadWorks yet?  No problem!  We'll still give you a new grab bag full of designs just for being on our newsletter list! 

Download and stitch them out as you wish.  I know you'll agree that you can pay more for designs but you won't find better ones anywhere! 

Every week we give away the first design from each set we released that week.  Help yourself to these ones or join the club and get the entire set represented by each of these designs!

From our beginnings back in 2002 we have made fun designs that are also affordable.  Back when people were selling 10 or 20 designs on a CD for $75 to $150, we started selling designs for $1 each.  Great designs but at realistic prices! 

We continue that tradition to this day.  Whether you want just one design, one set of designs, or a whole library full, you won't find better designs at lower prices anywhere! 

If you look closely...

You will find strategically placed typos and grammatical errors
 in this newsletter. They have been placed there to keep you alert.
When you notice them & find yourself becoming more alert, you
will know they have done their critical job!  :-)
