IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT #1: As I said last week, our 2014 goal is to "simplify everything".  That includes our websites.  The top menu of ATW will be put on a "diet" as well as the side menus, and the center content area.  This is not change for changes sake, we are trying to meet the needs of site visitors who are confused by all the choices found on the ATW site.  We are not putting the number of designs on a diet. Hope you enjoy the improvements.

IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT #2:  Our weekly release of 4 new sets of designs will now all happen on Fridays.  We used to release 1 set on Monday, 1 on Wednesday, and 1 on Friday.  That confused people and caused them to have to come to the site 3 times in order to get the same number of new designs you will now be able to get in 1 site visit.  It will also be less to keep track of on our end.  

IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT #3:  Sunday January 12th 2014 we will have server maintenance.  This will cause both sites to be out for several hours.  We are starting at 1am EST in order to complete as much as possible during the time when the least number of people are on the site.  We apologize for any inconvenience.


You may have noticed the change in our newsletter recently.  To make a long story short, the software for making our newsletter changed in December and our old HTML no longer worked in the editor.  I've recreated the old style this week after a fashion but will be improving it very soon.

 Just Released Designs...

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.

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!

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! 

Check our Holly's Design Studio for single designs and sets. 

Check out ArtisticThreadWorks to build your library of designs fast!

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!

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!  :-)
