At the digitizing weekend last August Maria Schuelke suggested a monthly digitizing challenge for the YouCanDigitize website.  We thought it was a great idea and are ready to launch it now.

The challenge is a "Pathway To Apprenticeship" for anyone who wants to learn how to digitize for a business.  Digitizing for fun will also find this a great way to become a well-rounded digitizer in 12 months time.

Go to the YouCanDigitize website and click on CHALLENGE on the top menu for more details and rule and artwork and so on.  Have fun everyone!   :-)

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!  :-)
