I am saving links here so I do not lose them!
I plan to embroider lace trims on my embroidery machine, and I want to buy some design files first so I know how they're built. It is another thing to design something that is freestanding. I can design motives that is going to be embroidered on fabric, but these are not embroidered on anything, just stabilisator that solves in water, so that way the design needs to be properly built up, so it doesn't unravel...
There's many sites with Free Standing Lace designs to buy/download, but many of them are just about
ornaments you can hang in christmas tree or bookmarks or
bowls, often of ugly design. Nothing I would care about. So the few sites with actual lace trim designs I am adding here!

Oh well.
