4 hourly free download: no login needed, just click and grab it.

Daily free design: still needs you logged in.

Download or file problems: post in the tech support group, not here. It sends you an automatic knowledge base tip and emails us both, so you often get an answer straight away.

The 4 hourly free download

Every 4 hours a different design goes free. No account, no login, no email address. Click, download, done.

It pulls at random from the whole catalogue. Every design on the site is in the draw, sets included, all 5,000 plus. So what is sitting there right now could be a single letter, or it could be a full alphabet set that would normally cost you real money.

You have no way of knowing until you look. Check in with your coffee, check in before bed. Some visits you will shrug, some visits you will not believe your luck.

When the 4 hours are up it goes back to full price and the next one takes its place.

The daily free design

This one has not changed. You still need to be logged in to your account to download it, because it goes through your account like a normal order. If you have not made an account yet it takes about a minute and it is free.

Site problems

Good news. I have ironed out the bugs and the site is running smoothly.

If you do hit a problem, please report it in the tech support group rather than here. When you post, the knowledge base tips for your issue go up instantly and you get an email with those tips and a link to your post. I get an email at the same time, so I know it has happened.

Make sure you pick the correct issue when you post, otherwise you will get tips for the wrong thing.

Please do not post your issue as a comment on another post, in another group, or anywhere else on Facebook. I may not be notified and it will sit there unanswered.

If you cannot log in at all, use the chat at the bottom right of the screen.

Over to you

Two things I would like to know, and I do read every reply.

Which do you actually use more, the 4 hourly download or the daily free design? I am deciding where to put my time and your answer changes what I make next.

And what are you stitching at the moment? Post a photo in the comments. I love seeing where the designs end up, and it gives everyone else ideas.

There are over 5,000 designs on the site now, mostly alphabets. Have a dig around: [SITE LINK]

You never know what you will find for instant download in the 4 hourly Freebie page. It changes to a new one every four hours, six a day, drawn at random from nearly 6,000 designs including full sets. No account needed, just download it while it's there. Four hours and it's gone, replaced by something else. If you want a daily free design as well, you will find that on the Specials page.

As some of you are aware, I have had a lot going on and other things have been taking priority, but I been working on some things when I have had a bit of time. I have digitised the chickens, I just need to test stitch them and put the alphabet together, so it is a couple of days away. I will send out a newsletter before it starts. If you are not signed up for the newsletter you can do that here NEWSLETTER

I have tidied up some of the code in the community posts so that they can be edited properly, and worked out a couple of other bugs. I will also be starting a 4 hourly random free design, there will be a random design that can be downloaded without logging in, because no login is required there will be no record if you download it, so there is absolutely no guarantee of what will be there and when. It is running in test mode at the moment, I do need to tweak it a bit but if you are interested to check it out it is here 4 hourly Freebie.
